The vascular system — arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels — is responsible for transporting blood, oxygen and nutrients to all the organs in the body. When any of these vessels are affected by disease, the consequences can be serious: ranging from leg ulcers to major cardiovascular complications.
Vascular surgery is the speciality responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, through surgery or minimally invasive endovascular techniques that allow many lesions to be treated without the need for large incisions.
Specialised approach to arterial and venous diseases of varying complexity.
Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins that appear mainly in the legs. Beyond the aesthetic problem, they can cause heaviness, pain, oedema and, in advanced cases, difficult-to-heal venous ulcers. A vascular assessment determines the degree of involvement and the most appropriate treatment.
Intermittent claudication — pain or cramps in the legs that appear when walking and subside with rest — is one of the most frequent symptoms of arteriosclerosis in the arteries of the lower limbs. It requires specialist assessment to prevent the progression of the disease.
Vascular ulcers, whether arterial or venous, are chronic wounds that do not heal properly without specialist treatment. They are common in patients with diabetes, venous insufficiency or arterial insufficiency.
The abnormal dilation of an artery — especially the abdominal aorta — may cause no symptoms until advanced stages. Early detection via ultrasound makes it possible to plan treatment before it poses a life-threatening risk.
The formation of a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs can cause pain, swelling and redness, and carries a risk of pulmonary embolism if not treated appropriately and promptly.
The treatment of vascular diseases has evolved significantly in recent years. Today it is possible to address many pathologies with minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time and the risks associated with conventional surgery.
Procedures performed from within blood vessels using catheters, such as angioplasty or the placement of stents in peripheral arteries, without the need for large incisions.
Stripping or ablation of varicose veins using different techniques, depending on the severity of the condition and the characteristics of each patient.
Surgical treatment of obstructive or aneurysmal arterial lesions when endovascular techniques are not sufficient.
Comprehensive management of chronic vascular ulcers, combining treatment of the underlying cause with local treatment of the lesion.
A multidisciplinary clinical environment that combines specialist expertise, technology and the utmost safety in patient care.
