Earlier the role of a surgeon was different and the surgeries were quite time-consuming and
associated with many complications. With time, there is much advancement in
technology and knowledge about various diseases and its treatment, now the
surgeries have also become much advanced, minimal invasive, shorter in duration
and are associated with fewer complications.
Vascular Surgery is
certainly one of the major surgical branch out of many others, which deals with
blood vessels. Thanks to the research and studies carried out in medical
science that helps a lot of patient’s live better life and extend their life.
Vascular Surgeon – An important role in vascular
surgery
The vascular surgeon is a specialist who treats problems associated with blood vessels (arteries, veins
& lymphatics), either with medicines or with interventions(like
angioplasty, stenting & bypass). They provide the right consultation for
their patients suggesting them relevant changes like
- Vascular surgeon
creates a treatment plan to suit the patient’s needs based on the severity of
the condition of their disease.
Vascular Disorders like
such as varicose veins, arterial blockages(limb ischemia), aneurysms,
lymphatic disorders, vascular malformations, thoracic outlet syndrome, diabetic
foot ulcers affect the normal life of a person. In such cases, vascular surgery can
be of great help to the patients to fight the pain. The role of expert surgeons
like Dr. Bhavin who is one of the Best Vascular Surgeon in Hyderabad are :
·
Treat
thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm(abnormal dilatation/enlargement of main
blood vessel)
·
Provide
relief in symptoms that occur due to venous disease and peripheral arterial
blockages
·
Treat
varicose veins and associated complications
·
Prevent
a stroke that can occur from Carotid Artery Disease
·
Heal
venous leg ulceration
·
Offer
hemodialysis for the patients having complications related to kidney
·
Keep
a check on the vascular issues related to renal disease or diabetes in patients
·
Improve
patients overall lifestyle
·
Prevent
leg amputation caused due to peripheral artery disease by doing peripheral
angioplasty and stenting
·
Healing
of diabetic foot ulcers and saving leg and life
Advancements in Vascular Surgery
Like other branches of
medicine, vascular surgery has also undergone advancement in treating patients. The endovascular procedure is one of them. The endovascular procedure is a minimal invasive procedure, where whole blockage or narrowing in a blood vessel of the the patient is opened up with a small puncture(hole), using balloon angioplasty and
stents.
In the past,
endovascular procedure/angioplasty was limited to heart disease only, but now
due to the avaibility of more advanced technique and equipment, it can be used for
all the blood vessels of the human body. Peripheral angioplasty has replaced bypass
surgery in almost 50-60% of cases.
Vascular surgeons like
Dr. Bhavin, diagnose patients with vascular disease and if the patient is
diagnosed for the same it is identified as dilated arteries condition.
Benefits of Endovascular
Surgery
- Minimal invasive
procedure – done with a small hole in leg or arm
- Done under Local
anesthesia – no complications related to anesthesia
- Stay in hospital
is very short (1 or 2 days only)
- Overall
improvement in the quality of Life
- Very useful and
beneficial for old age patients, who are not fit for any kind of surgery
or anesthesia
- Back to normal
day to day life within a couple of days
Patients can live a
better life and perform daily activities post-surgery/procedure as per doctor’s
instructions. Dr. Bhavin is having vast experience of treating with endovascular
procedures.
Endovascular
Procedures includes following
·
Peripheral
angioplasty/stenting for arterial blockages
·
Endovenous
ablation(LASER/RFA) for varicose veins
·
Endoascular
aneurysm repair for aortic aneurysm
·
Tibial
angioplasty for diabetic foot ulcers with tibial disease
·
Carotid
artery stenting for stroke patients
·
Thrombolysis
for DVT patients
