Peripheral Vascular and Endovascular Sciences
Peripheral Vascular and Endovascular Sciences
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the narrowing of any of the arteries to the legs, kidneys, stomach, arms, brain, and other organs. This condition increases the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.
The most common symptoms of PAD include leg or arm discomfort while exercising, leg ulcers, and other serious complications, such as gangrene.
PAD affects almost 10 million patients, yet it remains one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions.
Endovascular Surgery
- Carotid/Renal/ Subclavian angiography and angioplasty with stenting
- Peripheral angiography with angioplasty of arm or leg arteries
- Aorta and Visceral artery angioplasty
- Venous angiography with IVC filter placement and angioplasty of stenotic veins.
- Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis (including placement of IVC filters/stents)
- Covered Stent Grafts for Trauma, Arterio-Venous Fistulae and Aneurysms
KNOW VASCULAR DISEASES
Mangement of Swollen Legs/DVT
Swollen legs due to deep vein thrombosis are a fairly common presentation. These are effectively treated by catheter directed thrombolysis, compression stockings and compression therapy. A rare but serious complication of DVT is dislodgment of the clots from the legs to the lungs
Angiography, Ballooning (Angioplasty) and Stenting
Angiography is a special dye test of the blood vessels. It is done under local anaesthesia, on a mobile X-ray machine in our vascular Cath Lab. Angiography of the legs, arm or neck vessels is done regularly.
