Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the vascular system, including arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. At KVT Hospitals, our vascular surgeons utilize advanced medical treatments, reconstructive vascular surgery, and endovascular techniques to manage a range of vascular conditions. Effective treatment is crucial for addressing issues related to blocked or damaged blood vessels, which can impact the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body’s tissues.

Types of Vascular Conditions

We manage a variety of vascular conditions, including:

• Aortic Vascular Issues: Problems affecting the aorta, the largest artery in the body.
• Arteriosclerosis: Hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup.
• Arteriovenous Fistula: Abnormal connection between an artery and a vein.
• Blood Clots: Clumps of blood that can obstruct blood flow in veins or arteries.
• Carotid Artery Disease: Narrowing of the carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke.
• Chylothorax: Accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the chest cavity.
• Chylous Complications: Issues related to lymphatic fluid leakage.
• Critical Limb Ischemia: Severe blockage of blood flow to the limbs, leading to pain and potential tissue damage.
• Fibromuscular Dysplasia: Abnormal growth or development of the blood vessel walls.
• Lymphedema: Swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow to the limbs, causing pain and mobility issues.
• Popliteal Artery Aneurysm: Enlargement of the artery behind the knee.
• Renal Vascular Issues: Disorders affecting the blood vessels supplying the kidneys.
• Thrombosis: Formation of blood clots within a blood vessel.
• Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins usually found in the legs.
• Vascular Complications and Malformations: Various issues related to abnormal blood vessel formation and function.
• Vein Occlusions: Blockage of veins, which can lead to pain and swelling.
• Venous Diseases: Conditions affecting the veins, such as chronic venous insufficiency.
• Vertebral Artery Disease: Narrowing or blockage of the arteries supplying the spine.

Common Vascular Procedures

Our vascular surgeons perform a range of procedures, including:

• Bypass / Angioplasty / Stenting for Peripheral Arterial Disease: Techniques to restore blood flow in blocked or narrowed arteries.
• CDT / Angioplasty / Stenting for Venous Disease: Methods to treat blood clots and improve venous blood flow.
• Open Surgery / RFA / LASER for Varicose Veins: Treatments to remove or close off problematic veins.
• Open Surgery / Sclerotherapy / Angioembolisation for Vascular Malformations: Procedures to address abnormal blood vessel formations.
• Open Surgery / Angioplasty / Stenting for Carotid and Renal Vascular Disease: Techniques to improve blood flow in the carotid arteries and renal arteries.
• Open and Endovascular Surgery for Aortic Disease: Treatments for conditions affecting the aorta, including aneurysms and dissections.
• AV Fistula for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Creation of a connection between an artery and vein for dialysis access.
• Permcath and Chemoport Insertion: Placement of catheters for long-term medication or chemotherapy administration.
• Diabetic Foot Care: Management of foot problems related to diabetes.
• IVC Filter Placement: Insertion of a filter to prevent blood clots from reaching the lungs.
• Vascular Trauma Management: Treatment of injuries to blood vessels from trauma.
