Vascular surgeon – Helping you live a better life

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

Endovascular Treatment – Non-Surgical Treatment To Fight Carotid artery Disease

Carotid arteries are two big blood vessels present in the neck. They supply blood to the head and brain.  If you are suffering from carotid artery disease, your arteries will be blocked due to atherosclerosis. The Atherosclerosis is the process wherein the development of plaque takes place and this plaque is a collection of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances present in your blood. Yes, carotid artery disease is a serious problem and it can lead to stroke as it blocks the blood flow to the brain. The accumulation of plaque in your artery in excess can result in blockage. The blockage can occur when a blood clot/part of plaque breaks the wall of your artery. The plaque/clot can pass via bloodstream and stuck in the smaller arteries of your brain. When you visit one of the best varicose veins treatment in Secunderabad   for consultation and treatment, the doctors would help you know your condition after carrying out thorough examination.

How can diabetes affect the feet?

Foot problems are common in people with diabetes. Any small cut or blister or ulcer is more prone to infection in Diabetic patients. How can diabetes affect the feet? Diabetes can cause two problems that can affect your feet: Diabetic Neuropathy: Uncontrolled diabetes can damage your nerves. If you have damaged nerves in your legs and feet, you might not feel heat, cold, or pain there. This lack of feeling is called "sensory diabetic neuropathy." If you do not feel a cut or sore on your foot because of neuropathy, the cut could get worse and become infected. Peripheral Vascular Disease: Diabetes also affects the flow of blood. Without good blood flow or reducing blood flow to feet, hampers the healing of foot ulcers. Poor blood flow in the arms and legs is called "peripheral vascular disease."

PAD - Knowing About Vascular Arterial Disease

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common vascular arterial disease that is affecting people globally, particularly in old age. It is counted among the three main causes of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases that follow CAD (coronary artery disease) as well as stroke. PAD is prominent among people over 50 years and it increases with age. According to the studies PAD is prevalent among patients over 60 years or above 50 years having a history of diabetes, hypertension, CAD or if they are addicted to smoking. PAD increases substantially and can result in leg pain on walking, leg ulcer, or in severe cases gangrene of the affected leg or arm. It also affects the quality of life and intense disability due to foot ulcers, repeated hospitalization, acute limb ischemia, etc. Symptoms of PAD Patients with PAD can have the following symptoms: Calf, thigh or buttock claudication - Patients with claudication experience lower extremity pain, heaviness, fatigue, discomfort, c...
