What Is Vascular Disease?
A healthy vascular system is a must-have for optimal health. Our arteries and veins carry blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and taking away tissue waste matter. Vascular disease describes abnormalities in our circulatory systems. These abnormalities can cause serious health issues and a variety of treatments have been developed to help you eliminate and manage these conditions.
Do I Need to See a Vascular Surgeon?
Vascular conditions are not always obvious. Many do not have any symptoms and people don’t realize they have them until a complication occurs. During your regular physical with your doctor, you should ask for an assessment of your vascular health. Your doctor can tell you whether or not a consultation with a vascular surgeon is necessary.
Will I Need Surgery?
If you are referred to a surgeon, this does not necessarily mean you will need surgery. Our vascular surgeons are experts on improving vascular health through various treatments, including noninvasive ones. Often, a preemptive visit with a surgeon can help you prevent the need for surgery.
Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery can help people with narrowed arteries keep oxygen-rich blood flowing through the body. While a heart surgeon is responsible for treating arteries in and around the heart, a vascular surgeon treats obstructions in all other areas except the head, which is treated by neurosurgeons.
Our vascular surgery team provides comprehensive care to patients with disorders of the arteries, blood vessels, veins, tiny capillaries that carry blood, as well as the lymphatic system.
Your vascular surgeon will decide on the best surgical approach for you — minimally invasive therapies or open surgery — based on several factors including:
- The type of vascular disease you have and how severe it is.
- Your age
- Medical history
- Lifestyle
- Results of tests performed during your evaluation.
Our board-certified vascular surgeons and specialists use the latest, innovative diagnostic technologies to determine what issues our patients are facing and map out an effective course of treatment.
