Vascular Surgery

A vascular surgeon treats peripheral artery disease, aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, dialysis access creation, lymphedema, and vascular malformations.

See a vascular surgeon if you experience leg pain while walking that resolves with rest, non-healing wounds on feet or legs, visible bulging varicose veins causing discomfort, sudden leg swelling suggesting a blood clot, or if an aneurysm has been detected on imaging.

Open vascular surgery involves larger incisions for direct access to blood vessels. Endovascular surgery uses catheters inserted through small punctures to repair vessels from the inside using stents, balloons, or grafts, offering shorter recovery and less surgical risk.

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins visible under the skin, usually in the legs, caused by weakened valves. Treatment is recommended if they cause pain, swelling, skin changes, or ulcers. Options include compression therapy, sclerotherapy, laser treatment, and minimally invasive procedures.

Yes, online consultations are useful for reviewing Doppler ultrasound and angiography reports, discussing treatment options, evaluating wound healing progress, managing post-surgical follow-up, and determining candidacy for procedures.
