Introduction

Welcome to the Department of Vascular Surgery, where we focus on diagnosing, treating, and managing vascular disorders. This sophisticated network of arteries, veins, and lymphatic systems is essential for ensuring proper blood flow and general health. Our department is committed to delivering advanced, patient-centered treatment, employing advanced technology and procedures to achieve the best possible results for our patients.

What does a vascular surgeon do?

Vascular surgeons are highly trained professionals who treat a broad variety of blood vessel disorders. They diagnose illnesses and provide treatment strategies. They provide a wide range of medical therapies, including lifestyle changes, medications, exercise programs, nutrition plans, minimally invasive procedures, and major open operations.

Understanding Vascular Disorders

Vascular diseases are a diverse set of illnesses that may affect any area of the circulatory system. These disorders may be fatal if not properly treated, since they often result in complications such as heart attacks, strokes, and severe limb pain or loss. Early identification and Treatment in germany are critical for successfully treating many disorders.

Common Vascular Disorders

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): A frequent cardiovascular condition where blood flow to the limbs is reduced due to constricted arteries, generally affecting the legs, resulting in discomfort and trouble walking.

Aneurysms: Abnormal enlargements in blood artery walls, which may happen in the legs, brain, aorta, and other body areas. If an aneurysm ruptures, it may result in life-threatening internal bleeding.

Carpal Artery Illness: A disorder that greatly raises the risk of stroke by causing the carotid arteries in the neck to constrict or get clogged.

DVT, or deep vein thrombosis: A blood clot forming in a deep vein, generally in the legs. A pulmonary embolism, a medical emergency, may result from a clot that breaks free and travels to the lungs.

Varicose veins: Swollen, twisted veins that are often seen in the legs and are visible just under the skin's surface. They may hurt and result in more significant issues, even though they are often seen as cosmetic issues.

Chronic Deficit of Venous Blood: A disorder that causes swelling, discomfort, and skin changes because the veins in the legs are unable to return blood to the heart efficiently.

Methods of Diagnosis

A precise diagnosis is the basis of a successful vascular therapy plan. Our section monitors and evaluates vascular health using a range of cutting-edge diagnostic methods and instruments.

Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging that visualizes blood flow and identifies anomalies or blockages in the vessels using sound waves.

Angiography: A kind of imaging exam that often requires the injection of a contrast dye and employs X-rays to capture images of the blood flow in veins or arteries.

CT and MRI scans: Advanced imaging techniques which produce detailed cross-sectional images of the blood vessels, are used to detect aneurysms, obstructions, and other complications.

Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): A quick test to screen for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) that measures ankle and arm blood pressure.

Treatment Approaches

To successfully manage vascular disorders, we use a patient-centered strategy that includes both surgical and nonsurgical approaches.

Surgical treatments

Endo vascular surgery: A minimally invasive surgery that involves tiny incisions, catheters, and imaging methods. Common endovascular treatments include angioplasty (widening constricted arteries) and stent implantation.

Open Surgery: Traditional surgical approaches that may be required for more complicated cases. This includes techniques like bypass surgery (which creates a new path for blood flow around a blocked artery) and aneurysm repair.

Carotid endarterectomy: A surgical operation that removes plaque accumulation from the carotid arteries, lowering the risk of stroke.

Vein Stripping and Ligation: Procedures for removing or tying off varicose veins, which improve blood flow and relieve symptoms.

Nonsurgical Treatments

Medications: Prescribed medications help in the management of symptoms and underlying health issues. This may include blood thinners to avoid clotting, cholesterol-lowering meds, and blood pressure medications.

Compression therapy: It involves wearing compression stockings or wraps to enhance blood flow and decrease oedema in the legs.

Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging patients to adopt better behaviors such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, smoking cessation, and weight control to enhance vascular health.

Sclerotherapy: A minimally invasive process in which a solution is injected into varicose veins to seal them off and redirect blood flow into healthy veins.
