Department of Vascular Surgery
Blood cells are carried by the lymphatic fluid via the lymph veins. Every area of the body has lymph that is removed via the lymphatic system. Diseases may arise from issues with the vascular system. These illnesses have an impact on how well the vascular system functions. Vascular surgery can be used to treat a vascular condition.
A vascular surgeon is a physician with expertise in the use of surgical methods to treat various vascular conditions. All vascular illnesses are under the general administration, diagnosis, and treatment of the vascular surgeon.
Why Dr.Muthus Hospitals?
It is based on the principles of prevention, surgical and endo vascular treatments and strict follow-up of vascular patients endeavoring to prevent strokes in high-risk groups, deaths due to aneurysm ruptures, Limb Amputation in Diabetics and clotting in lower limb arteries and veins and their sequels.
The several specializations that work together to provide patients with atherosclerosis the build-up of fat, cholesterol, and other compounds known as plaque in the lining of an artery are committed to delivering comprehensive and multidisciplinary care. Fractures in plaques lead to blood clots that can obstruct blood flow or break off and migrate to another area of the body, where they can cause strokes, heart attacks, or amputations of limbs..
VASCULAR DISEASES
Patients with poor circulation usually have diseased arteries all over their body. Arteries usually affected are in the legs, heart, and neck. The severity of the disease and length of time it goes untreated can make a tremendous difference in the clinical outcome of a vascular disease, characterized by stroke, limb amputations, or death.
Vascular diseases can affect any of the components of the vascular system. Some of the key diseases affecting the vascular systems are:
Peripheral artery disease
This illness results in an arterial blockage in the legs, impairing circulation and causing leg pain. It may result in gangrene or even sores.
Renal artery disease
This illness can cause blockages in the kidney's arteries. This may result in hypertension, renal failure, and possibly cardiac failure.
Raynaud's phenomenon
The finger arteries are impacted by which can result in spasms. This typically occurs when it's cold outside.
Intestinal Ischemia
A condition that occurs when the intestine's blood arteries get clogged. It may have an impact on how well the digestive system works.
Pulmonary embolism
occurs when a blood clot enters the lungs and stays there. It may result in bloody coughing fits, breathing problems, and chest pain. It may potentially be fatal if the clot is very big.
Buerger's disease
This condition affects the legs and arms arteries, which may become clogged. Consequently, there may be an impact on the blood supply to the hands and feet, which could result in gangrene and cause pain.
Carotid artery disease
Blockages can occur in the carotid arteries, which carry blood to the brain. This may result in a stroke.A tear in a layer of the arterial wall causes a carotid artery dissection. It might result in blood leaking.
Aneurysm in the carotid artery:
Aneurysms are caused by a bulging or weakening of the blood vessel wall. It may potentially result in an aneurysm rupture, which can cause unconsciousness.
An aortic aneurysm
is a bulge or aneurysm that develops in the aorta, the heart's major blood supply. If the aneurysm rupture, it may result in chest discomfort, unconsciousness, and possibly death.
Varicose veins
These veins swell and take on a purple appearance due to broken valves. It may result in leg pain and edema.
Spider veins
Mostly found on the legs and feet, these are caused by swollen capillaries. They may cause bruising, but they are not hazardous.
May Thurner syndrome
This condition, also known as iliac vein compression syndrome, is characterized by compression of the lower extremity venous outflow tract. It could result in deep vein thrombosis or even edema.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
A clot that forms in a vein, generally in the legs. The clot may form as a result of an injury or restricted leg movement. It may result in cramping, discomfort, and edema. Severe complications may arise if the clot separates and travels to the lungs.
Lymph edema
This disorder occurs when irregularities cause fluid to accumulate in the lymphatic system. Pain and swelling may result from it. If left untreated, complications may arise.

DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION OF VASCULAR DISEASES
The department’s treatment options include both surgical and non-surgical procedures.Angioplasty, bypass grafting, and endo vascular aneurysm repair are among the surgical techniques that may be performed.
This calls for in-depth assessments, accurate diagnosis, and customized treatment regimens includes
- Angiography
- CTScan
- MRI
- Ultrasounds
- Medication Management
- Lifestyle Changes
- Minimally Invasive Techniques Endo vascular Interventions
Which Require Only Tiny Incisions.
OPTIONS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE ENDOVASCULAR THERAPY
THORACIC ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR (TEVAR)
patients with thoracic aneursyms can benefit from this less invasive endovascular therapy. even though there isn’t always a need for an incision, a tiny one is typically made in the groin to insert a catheter and then a stent graft to treat the aneurysm.
ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR
this treatment, which is used to treat patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, is comparable to tevar.
VENEREAL ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR
to maintain blood flow to the kidneys, intestines, stomach, and liver, a tiny incision is made in the groin to facilitate the implantation of a stent-graft.
VENEREAL ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR
to maintain blood flow to the kidneys, intestines, stomach, and liver, a tiny incision is made in the groin to facilitate the implantation of a stent-graft.
ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTING
In this procedure, a balloon guided by a catheter is utilized to widen a constricted artery. Peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and vertebrobasilar disorders can all be effectively treated with angioplasty and stenting.
PERCUTANEOUS OR LASER ATHERECTOMY
To remove the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque from a vessel, a specialist catheter is inserted by the surgeon into the blocked artery
SURGICAL TREATMENTS
Open Abdominal Aortic Surgery
To treat disorders such as abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortoiliac occlusive disease, an abdominal incision is made to allow access to the abdominal aorta, and a fabric graft is fastened into place.
Bypass surgery
This type of surgery is performed to reroute blood flow around an obstruction. The graft may be made of synthetic material or it may come from the patient's vein. Treatments for peripheral arterial disease, renal vascular disease, mesenteric vascular disease, and vertebrobasilar disease include surgery.
Open Carotid and Femoral Endarterectomy
This procedure involves the surgical removal of plaque accumulation on the artery's inner lining. The process is used to treat peripheral artery disease, vertebrobasilar disease, and cerebrovascular illness.
- Statins, or cholesterol-lowering drugs, may be administered to minimize the risk of blockage-related strokes.
- Blood pressure and blood sugar levels have the potential to impact the vascular system's functionality. Maintaining normal blood sugar levels and lowering blood pressure are crucial. This can be treated with prescribed medication.
- It is possible to prescribe blood thinners and other medications to enhance blood flow and lower the risk of a clot.
- Angioplasty, which was covered in the diagnosis section, is a procedure in which a stent is fixed to keep an artery open after a balloon opens it. When there is a substantial arterial blockage, this is done.
