FAQ'S

What is vascular surgery?

Vascular surgery is the assessment and treatment of blood vessel diseases, including both arterial and venous disorders.

What are the Vascular Surgeon Services?

1) Varicose Vein, 2) Vascular Tumours, 3) Bypass, 4) Permcath, 5) Angioplasty & Stenting, 6) Fistula, 7) Peripheral Aneurysm, 8) Trauma, 9) Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Varicose veins can occur in almost anyone and affect up to 35% of people in the India. You may inherit a tendency to develop varicose veins from a parent. Women, women who have had multiple children and obese persons are at a higher risk.

What are the main systems of veins in the legs?

Deep veins: The leg muscles squeeze the deep veins during walking, carrying most of the blood back up the legs to the heart.

Superficial veins: These occur under the skin which are less important and can form varicose veins.

What are the treatment options for Varicose Vein?

RF Ablation
Laser Ablation
Foam Sclerotherapy

What is Thread Veins?

Thread veins are purple coloured prominent veins in the skin seen most commonly in the legs. They are harmless but are sometimes uncomfortable and may be very unsightly. They can be very easily treated by sclerotherapy (injection).

What is Vascular Tumors?

Vascular tumors are rare conditions that can present in a spectrum from benign to malignant (cancerous).

What is Bypass Vascular Surgery?

A vascular bypass (or vascular graft) is a surgical procedure performed to redirect blood flow in a region of the body. It is commonly performed due to inadequate blood flow (ischemia) and as a part of organ transplantation.

What is Permcath?

A permcath is a long, flexible tube that is inserted into a vein most commonly in the neck (internal jugular vein) and less commonly in the groin (femoral vein).

What is Angioplasty & Stenting?

Angioplasty (or balloon angioplasty) is an endovascular procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis. An empty, collapsed balloon, known as a balloon catheter, is passed over a wire into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size.

What is Fistula Surgery?

Hemodialysis fistulas are surgically created communications between the native artery and vein in an extremity. Direct communications are called native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs).

What is Peripheral Aneurysm?

A weakening in the wall of a blood vessel in your abdomen or sometimes in a leg which results in an abnormally dilated area.

What are the Peripheral Aneurysm dilated areas?

Clotting off and interrupting blood flow.
Rupturing and causing serious bleeding.
Compressing adjacent tissues.

What are the Treatments for Peripheral Aneurysm?

If you develop a peripheral aneurysm, it will not go away unless treated.
Most peripheral aneurysms over 2 cm in diameter require treatment.
In some cases even smaller aneurysms may require treatment.

What are the Treatments for Peripheral Aneurysm?

The term "vascular trauma" refers to injury to a blood vessel—an artery, which carries blood to an extremity or an organ, or a vein, which returns blood to the heart.

What are the categories of Vascular Trauma?

A blunt injury can occur when a blood vessel is crushed or stretched.
A penetrating injury can occur when a blood vessel is punctured, torn or severed.
Either type of vascular trauma can cause the blood vessel to clot (thrombosis) and interrupt blood flow to an organ or extremity, or cause bleeding which can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage.
