Treatments under Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery

Renal Angioplasty Restoring Kidney Blood Flow

Renal angioplasty is an interventional vascular treatment used to manage renal artery stenosis, a condition in which the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys become narrowed due to plaque buildup or vascular disease. During the procedure, a thin catheter is guided through the blood vessels to the narrowed renal artery, where a balloon is inflated to open the blockage and restore circulation. In many cases, a vascular stent is also placed to help maintain long term artery patency. The treatment is commonly recommended for patients with resistant hypertension, reduced kidney function, recurrent fluid overload, or compromised kidney circulation caused by arterial narrowing. Compared to open vascular surgery, renal angioplasty offers shorter recovery time, reduced hospital stay, and lower procedural trauma while effectively improving renal blood flow.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a localized enlargement of the lower part of the aorta, the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. -br When the wall weakens, it can expand and, if left untreated, may rupture and cause massive internal bleeding. -br Screening and timely surgical or endovascular repair are vital to prevent rupture and improve survival rates.

Aortic Aneurysm Repair

Aortic aneurysm repair is a life-saving procedure performed to reinforce a weakened section of the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart. -br Depending on the aneurysm’s size and location, treatment may involve open surgical graft replacement or minimally invasive endovascular stent graft placement. -br Timely repair prevents rupture and ensures long-term vascular stability.

Aortofemoral Bypass Surgery

Aortofemoral Bypass Surgery is a major vascular procedure designed to restore circulation to the lower limbs in patients with blocked or narrowed aortoiliac arteries. -br Using a synthetic graft, surgeons create a bypass from the abdominal aorta to the femoral arteries, improving blood flow, reducing pain, and preventing limb loss in severe peripheral artery disease.

Vascular Surgery

Arterial Aneurysms

Arterial aneurysms occur when a section of an artery weakens and balloons outward due to chronic pressure on the vessel wall. -br These aneurysms can form in various arteries including the femoral, popliteal, carotid, or visceral arteries. -br Early detection and management are crucial, as rupture or clot formation can lead to life-threatening bleeding or ischemia.

Vascular Surgery

Balloon Angioplasty

Balloon Angioplasty is a procedure used to open up narrowed or blocked arteries, usually caused by atherosclerosis. -br During the procedure, a catheter with a small balloon at its tip is guided to the blockage site and inflated to compress plaque and restore blood flow. -br It’s often combined with stent placement for long-term artery support.

Coarctation of the Aorta Surgery-CoA

Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) is a congenital condition where a segment of the aorta is narrowed, obstructing blood flow from the heart to the body. -br Surgery involves removing or widening the narrowed section to normalize circulation. -br Early correction is critical to prevent hypertension and heart failure.

Vascular Surgery

Femorofemoral Bypass

Femorofemoral bypass is an extra-anatomic vascular bypass that connects the common femoral arteries to reroute blood around an obstructed iliac or external iliac segment. -br It is commonly used when a direct aortoiliac reconstruction carries excessive risk or is anatomically unsuitable. -br The procedure uses a synthetic graft tunneled subcutaneously to restore durable limb perfusion, relieve ischemic pain, heal ulcers, and reduce the risk of limb loss.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery - FESS

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) uses nasal endoscopes and micro-instruments to remove disease and open natural sinus drainage pathways while preserving normal anatomy. -br It is indicated for chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical therapy, recurrent sinus infections, obstructive polyps, or to access complex sinus anatomy. -br FESS aims to improve ventilation, reduce infection frequency, and preserve mucosal function with less morbidity than open procedures.

IVC Filter Insertion

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small, cage-like device placed percutaneously into the IVC to intercept venous thromboemboli traveling from the legs to the lungs. -br Indications include acute venous thromboembolism with contraindication to anticoagulation, recurrent emboli despite therapy, or temporary protection during high-risk periods. -br Filters may be permanent or retrievable; careful selection and follow-up minimize long-term complications.
