Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery is a specialized medical field that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the blood vessels, excluding the heart and brain. Vascular surgeons address a wide range of disorders, including arterial and venous diseases such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and varicose veins. These surgeons employ both traditional open surgical techniques and minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, to restore or improve blood flow throughout the circulatory system. The goal of vascular surgery is to manage and alleviate vascular issues, ultimately preventing complications such as stroke, limb amputation, or organ damage. Vascular surgeons work collaboratively with other medical professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients with vascular conditions, employing a combination of surgical expertise, medical management, and lifestyle interventions to optimize outcomes.
