Vascular Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the blood vessels, including arteries and veins. Surgeons in this field perform procedures to address issues such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and varicose veins. They use both open surgery and minimally invasive techniques to restore proper blood flow and improve overall vascular health.
Patients may require vascular surgery for various reasons, including chronic pain, swelling, or complications from diabetes and high blood pressure. The goal of these procedures is to prevent serious complications, such as heart attacks or strokes, and to enhance the quality of life for individuals with vascular disorders.
