At NHS Hospitals, our Department of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. These vital structures are responsible for carrying blood and fluids throughout the body, and any disorder can significantly impact overall health. Our mission is to restore vascular health with safe, advanced, and patient-centered care.
Our team of skilled vascular surgeons and endovascular specialists treat a wide range of conditions, including varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery disease, aneurysms, venous insufficiency, diabetic foot complications, and vascular trauma. We also provide emergency care for life-threatening conditions such as ruptured aneurysms and acute arterial blockages.
The department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), allowing precise identification of vascular problems. This accuracy ensures that each patient receives the most effective treatment plan tailored to their condition.
Our expertise covers both open surgical procedures and minimally invasive endovascular interventions. Minimally invasive techniques such as angioplasty, stenting, embolization, and catheter-directed thrombolysis allow for faster recovery, smaller incisions, and reduced complications. For patients requiring complex open surgeries, our surgeons employ advanced methods to ensure safety and the best possible outcomes.
We also provide specialized care for diabetic patients, who often face vascular challenges that can lead to ulcers or limb-threatening complications. Our team works closely with endocrinologists, wound care specialists, and orthopedic surgeons to offer holistic treatment and limb preservation strategies.
Collaboration is central to our care approach. Our vascular surgeons coordinate with cardiologists, neurologists, nephrologists, and critical care specialists to manage patients with multi-system involvement, ensuring comprehensive treatment under one roof.
Preventive care is also a cornerstone of our services. Through counseling, lifestyle modification guidance, and routine screenings, we help patients reduce risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, and uncontrolled diabetes that often contribute to vascular disease.
At NHS Hospitals, our Vascular & Endovascular Surgery department combines cutting-edge technology, surgical expertise, and compassionate care to restore circulation, relieve symptoms, and improve quality of life.
