What do vascular surgeons do?
Vascular surgeons diagnose and treat disorders of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. They perform both open surgeries and minimally invasive procedures to manage conditions like blocked arteries, aneurysms, and varicose veins. These specialists handle critical issues such as stroke prevention, limb preservation, and vascular trauma. Vascular surgeons at Renova also collaborate with cardiologists and radiologists to offer comprehensive care. Their goal is to restore healthy blood flow, reduce pain or swelling, and prevent life-threatening events like heart attacks and strokes through precise surgical intervention and long-term vascular health management.
When to see a vascular surgeon?
- Chest pain or breathlessness due to blocked arteries.
- Swelling or ulcers in the legs.
- High risk of stroke or diagnosed carotid artery disease.
- Poor circulation or cold limbs.
- Varicose veins are causing discomfort.
