  1. Introduction to Vascular Surgery Vascular surgery focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the circulatory system, primarily the arteries, veins, and lymphatics. This specialized field encompasses a wide range of conditions affecting the blood vessels throughout the body, including the heart, brain, and limbs. https://sflmedicalgroup.com/prp-treatment/

  2. Anatomy of the Vascular System Arteries Veins Lymphatics Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. The largest artery is the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries supplying different organs and tissues. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Veins have valves that prevent blood from flowing backward. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that help filter waste products and fight infection. Lymphatic vessels carry lymph fluid, which is a clear fluid containing white blood cells.

  3. Common Vascular Conditions Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Aortic Aneurysm 1 2 PAD is a narrowing of the arteries in the legs and feet, often caused by plaque buildup. It can lead to pain, numbness, and leg cramps, especially during exercise. An aneurysm is a bulge or weakening in the wall of an artery. An aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Varicose Veins 3 4 DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often in the legs. It can lead to pain, swelling, and redness. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that are often visible under the skin. They can cause pain, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.

  4. Diagnostic Tests and Imaging Test Purpose Doppler Ultrasound Assess blood flow in arteries and veins Angiography Visualize the inside of blood vessels using contrast dye CT Scan Provide detailed images of blood vessels and surrounding tissues MRI Scan Create detailed images of blood vessels and surrounding tissues, often used to detect aneurysms

  5. Minimally Invasive Vascular Procedures Angioplasty 1 A balloon catheter is inserted into a blocked artery to widen the opening. Stent Placement 2 A small mesh tube is inserted into the artery to keep it open. Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) 3 A stent graft is placed in the aorta to repair an aneurysm without open surgery.

  6. Open Vascular Surgical Procedures Bypass Surgery Aneurysm Repair Venous Thrombectomy A healthy blood vessel is grafted to bypass a blocked artery. The weakened portion of the artery is surgically repaired or replaced. A blood clot is surgically removed from a vein.

  7. Postoperative Care and Recovery Pain Management 1 Pain medications are prescribed to help manage post-operative discomfort. Wound Care 2 The surgical incision is carefully monitored and cared for to prevent infection. Rehabilitation 3 Physical therapy and exercises help patients regain strength and mobility. Lifestyle Changes 4 Patients may need to make lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and eating a healthy diet, to improve their vascular health.

  8. The Role of the Vascular Surgeon Diagnosis and Evaluation Surgical Procedures Postoperative Care Patient Education Vascular surgeons perform a wide range of surgical procedures to treat vascular diseases, including open and minimally invasive techniques. Vascular surgeons provide post-operative care to ensure patients recover fully and manage any complications. Vascular surgeons educate patients about their condition, treatment options, and the importance of lifestyle changes. Vascular surgeons diagnose and evaluate vascular diseases through physical exams, imaging tests, and other diagnostic procedures. Contact Us: ? Email: info@sflmedicalgroup.com ?
