About Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery manages conditions affecting blood vessels (arteries and veins) outside the brain and heart. Restoring proper blood flow prevents limb amputations in diabetic patients and resolves deep vein thrombosis (DVT) clots before they cause lung blockages.

Clinical Focus Areas

We offer specialized treatment pathways for:

Limb salvage for non-healing diabetic foot ulcers
Catheter-directed clot busting (thrombolysis) for DVT
Angioplasty & bypass to reverse early leg gangrene
IVC safety filters for clotting disorders

Why Choose Us

Dual expertise in open and endovascular surgery
Focus on limb preservation for diabetics
High-success catheter thrombolysis for clots
Minimally invasive balloon angioplasty options
Preventive IVC filter placements for DVT patients

Arterial Insufficiency

Arterial blockages restrict oxygenated blood from reaching extremities. In diabetic patients, this is compounded by neuropathy, meaning minor cuts can go unnoticed and progress rapidly to non-healing wounds and wet gangrene. Restoring blood flow via bypass or angioplasty is the single most critical factor in healing these ulcers.

Venous Thromboembolism

Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a vascular emergency. Blood clots forming in deep leg veins obstruct blood returning to the heart, leading to severe swelling and intense pain. Catheter-directed thrombolysis dissolves the clot directly, minimizing damage to vein valves and preventing post-thrombotic syndrome.

Vascular Conditions We Treat

Recognizing warning signs early is essential to avoid severe complications or limb loss.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Arterial plaque blockages in the legs that cause muscle pain while walking (claudication), cold extremities, and numbness.

Diabetic Foot & Gangrene

Critical blood supply drop to the foot, causing non-healing ulcers, tissue death (gangrene), and high infection risks.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Acute blood clots in the deep veins of lower limbs, causing sudden swelling, warmth, and risks of pulmonary embolism.

Aortic Aneurysms

Abnormal widening or bulging of the main artery (aorta), requiring careful monitoring or surgical repair to prevent rupture.

Advanced Treatment Modalities

Our clinical options are customized depending on the location and severity of the vascular disease:

Open Bypass Surgery (Leg & Arm)

A synthetic graft or a natural vein harvested from your leg is used to bypass the blocked segment of the artery, immediately restoring oxygen supply to save non-healing toes and limbs.

Balloon Angioplasty & Stenting

A catheter procedure where a balloon is inflated inside the blocked peripheral artery or aorta to open it up, followed by a metal stent to keep it open.

DVT & Embolism Prevention

Specialized interventions for deep vein blood clots to prevent them from reaching the lungs:

Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis

For acute, severe DVT, a catheter is placed directly inside the leg clot to deliver clot-dissolving medications, achieving high success and preserving vein valve functions.

IVC Filter Placement

A tiny metallic filter is deployed inside the Inferior Vena Cava to trap breaking clots, protecting high-risk DVT patients who cannot take standard anticoagulation thinners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common clinical queries regarding vascular diseases.

DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, typically in the leg, causing sudden swelling, redness, and pain. It can become life-threatening if a piece of the clot breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs, blocking blood flow (a condition called Pulmonary Embolism). Prompt treatment with blood thinners, catheter-guided thrombolysis, or IVC filters is crucial to prevent this.

The earliest sign is muscle pain or cramping in the calves or thighs while walking, which disappears after a few minutes of rest (claudication). As blockages become severe, patients experience pain even while resting (rest pain), coldness in the feet, non-healing wounds or ulcers on the toes, and eventually blackish discoloration of the skin (gangrene).

Yes, in many cases. While completely dead tissues cannot be revived, restoring blood flow immediately via angioplasty or surgical bypass can save the rest of the foot or leg. Revascularization stops the spread of gangrene, allows wounds to heal, and prevents the need for major limb amputation.

An Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter is a tiny, basket-like metal device placed in the body's main vein (the vena cava) that returns blood from the lower body to the heart. It acts as a safety net, catching large blood clots traveling from the legs before they can reach the heart and lungs, protecting patients who cannot take standard blood-thinning medications.

For open bypass surgeries in the legs, patients typically stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. Walking is encouraged early, but complete wound healing and swelling reduction take about 3 to 4 weeks. Minimally invasive angioplasty procedures require only a 1 to 2-day hospital stay with recovery within a few days.
