Top Procedures and Treatments Vascular Surgery in Bannerghatta Road
Types of Vascular Surgery Diseases Treated Under Vascular Surgery
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins usually due to faulty valves and vein walls, leading to pain and cosmetic concerns. Our expert care focuses on alleviating symptoms, preventing complications, and improving patient's quality of life.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) involves narrowed arteries reducing blood flow, typically in the legs. Our department offers interventions that restore circulation, reduce pain, and prevent severe outcomes like ulcers and amputations.
Aortic Aneurysm (Thoracic and Abdominal)
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening dilations in the aorta due to weak arterial walls, which can rupture if untreated. We provide comprehensive treatment options to prevent rupture, protect health, and ensure longevity.
Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot arises from diabetes complications, causing nerve and blood flow issues, potentially leading to ulcers. Our care emphasizes preventing infections and amputations while fostering proper healing and mobility.
Sub-Specialities in Vascular Surgery
Endovascular Surgery
Endovascular surgery involves minimally invasive techniques to treat various vascular disorders, using catheters threaded through blood vessels. This sub-specialty focuses on offering less traumatic alternatives to open surgery, enhancing recovery times, and reducing complications. Patients benefit from precise procedures such as stent placements and angioplasty, which target localized problems within the vascular system without the need for large incisions. These interventions are critical in managing conditions like aneurysms and PVD, ensuring patients receive care tailored to their specific needs and complexities, promoting quicker return to normal life.
Podiatrics
Podiatrics specializes in managing disorders concerning the foot and lower limb, a critical focus area for patients with diabetes or mobility issues. By offering comprehensive care, including surgical and non-surgical treatments, podiatrics addresses foot conditions like ulcers, circulatory issues, and structural problems. Our department’s commitment to podiatric care ensures individuals receive tailored interventions that enhance foot health, prevent complications, and maintain overall mobility. Expert podiatric services are crucial in managing diabetic foot complications and preventing serious outcomes like amputations.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Advantages - Vascular Surgery in Bannerghatta Road
EVAR
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is a revolutionary technique for treating aortic aneurysms. It involves inserting a stent graft through small incisions in the groin, providing a new path for blood flow and reinforcing the aorta. This minimizes the risk of rupture and offers quicker recovery.
TEVAR
Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) is a specialized procedure for thoracic aortic aneurysms. Similar to EVAR, it uses a stent graft to stabilize the aneurysm. TEVAR offers reductions in surgical trauma, faster recovery, and reduced risk of long-term complications.
Atherectomy Devices
Atherectomy devices are cutting-edge tools used to remove plaque build-up from arteries, restoring normal blood flow. This technology offers precision in treating occluded vessels, reducing the need for invasive surgery and enhancing patient outcomes through minimally invasive interventions.
ABI
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measures blood pressure in the arms and legs to detect peripheral artery disease. Providing a quick, non-invasive diagnostic approach, ABI helps in the early identification of circulatory issues, guiding timely interventions and personalized treatment plans.
Pedogram
A pedogram is a tool that assesses foot pressure distribution, essential in diagnosing foot pathologies and diabetic foot risks. By mapping pressure points, it aids in designing customized orthotics and reducing ulceration risks, significantly benefiting patient quality of life.
Fenestration
Fenestration in vascular surgery involves creating windows in a stent-graft to allow blood flow into branches of the aorta during endovascular repairs. This advanced technique ensures proper organ perfusion while treating complex aneurysms and dissections, enhancing procedural safety and outcomes.
