Vascular Surgical

Blood flowing through the blood vessels delivers the required nutrients and oxygen to different parts of the body. Any damage or disease of the blood vessels prevents normal blood flow and causes various problems of the vascular system ranging from mild to life threatening disorders. Similarly, the lymphatic system carries waste from different parts of the body to be filtered out of the blood. Any infection of the lymphatic system can lead to blockages and accumulation of fluid in the body. Vascular surgery plays an important role in maintaining the health and functioning of the arteries, veins and lymphatic system.

Some common conditions that require vascular surgery include:

• Aneurysm
  An aneurysm is widening in an artery. They are commonly seen in the aorta and when this bulge extends into the abdomen, it is called abdominal aortic aneurysm. A rupture or tear in this aneurysm can cause internal bleeding that can be life threatening.
• Carotid artery disease
  The carotid arteries are located on each side of the neck and supply blood to the brain. Any blockage of these arteries due to atherosclerosis or clots can increase the risk of brain stroke.
• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  Also known as Peripheral Vascular disease, it affects the arteries of the legs. It is caused due to fat deposits in the arteries that leads to reduced blood supply to the lower extremities. A severe blockage in the arteries can cause ischemia of the limb which is a critical condition. PAD increases the chances of developing heart attack and stroke.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  DVT is a condition in which blood clots form in the deep veins of the body, especially the legs. It can be fatal if a clot or a fragment of the clot detaches itself and travels to the lung causing pulmonary embolism.
• Varicose veins
  Varicose veins occur when valves in the vein are damaged and are unable to push the blood back to the heart and lungs. There is a backflow of blood leading to twisted and swollen veins in the legs. This can also lead to venous ulcers.
• Lymphoedema
  Lymphoedema occurs when lymphatic fluid builds up in the soft tissues of the body causing swelling obstruction of the lymph nodes.
