List Of Treatments Offered

Vascular surgeons at STAR Hospitals treat a wide variety of conditions including:

Aortic Aneurysms – dilation of a blood vessel, which can lead to rupture and death
Carotid Artery disease – a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the carotid arteries that carry blood to the neck and head causing a stroke
Critical Limb Ischemia – severe blockage in the arteries of the lower extremities which seriously reduces blood flow and in serious cases may result in limb amputation
Deep Vein Thrombosis – occurs when blood thickens in a clump that becomes solid, forming a clot
Lymphedema – swelling caused by accumulation of fluid in the body’s tissues
Peripheral Arterial disease – where plaque builds up in the arteries to the legs limiting the blood flow or blocking it altogether
Venous disease – where veins become abnormal or diseased, including the treatment of varicose veins

Vascular surgery is actually quite varied and most operations have to be tailored to the individual patient. Urgent intervention is required for conditions such as ruptured aortic aneurysms and vascular trauma following road accidents and other accidents.
