FAQs

Vascular surgery is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. This includes managing blood vessel diseases and conditions such as aneurysms, blood clots, varicose veins, and peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Vascular surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Aneurysms (such as abdominal aortic aneurysm)
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Carotid artery disease
Varicose veins and spider veins
Venous ulcers
Chronic venous insufficiency
Thoracic outlet syndrome

Common procedures include:

Angioplasty and Stenting: Widening of narrowed arteries using a balloon and inserting a stent to keep the artery open.
Aneurysm Repair: Surgical or endovascular treatment to prevent aneurysm rupture.
Endarterectomy: Removal of plaque from an artery, commonly in the carotid arteries.
Bypass Surgery: Redirecting blood flow around a blocked artery using a graft.
Varicose Vein Treatments: Methods include laser treatment, sclerotherapy, or vein stripping to treat varicose veins.
Thrombectomy: Removal of blood clots from blood vessels.

Vascular surgeries can be performed as open surgeries (traditional incisions) or minimally invasive endovascular procedures (using catheters and smaller incisions). The choice depends on the patient’s condition, the location of the blood vessel, and the severity of the disease.

Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive techniques where the surgeon accesses the blood vessels through small incisions, often in the groin or arm. Instruments like catheters and balloons are used to treat issues inside the blood vessels, reducing recovery time and lowering the risk of complications.

Vascular surgery may be recommended for individuals with moderate to severe vascular disease, especially if lifestyle changes or medication have not effectively managed the symptoms. Candidacy depends on factors like the type and severity of vascular condition, overall health, and any other underlying conditions.

As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, or reaction to anesthesia. Minimally invasive procedures generally have lower risk profiles, but individual risk depends on the patient’s health and type of surgery.

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive procedures may have recovery times ranging from a few days to a few weeks, whereas open surgeries can require longer recovery times, often several weeks or months. Patients are encouraged to follow post-operative instructions, attend follow-up appointments, and adopt healthy lifestyle changes.

Pre-surgery preparation may include:

Following specific instructions on eating and drinking before surgery.
Stopping certain medications as directed.
Undergoing pre-operative tests (e.g., blood tests, imaging scans).
Arranging for assistance during recovery if needed.

Alternatives may include lifestyle changes (diet, exercise), medications (e.g., blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering drugs), and non-surgical therapies (e.g., compression stockings for venous conditions). The best treatment plan depends on the specific condition and patient factors.

Yes. Healthy habits can significantly reduce the risk of developing vascular conditions. Key lifestyle changes include quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, managing diabetes, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

Many vascular conditions require long-term management, so follow-up care is essential. This may involve regular check-ups, monitoring with imaging tests, and continued lifestyle modifications or medications to prevent further vascular issues. If you have more questions or specific concerns, it’s best to consult directly with a vascular surgeon for personalized advice.
