Top Procedures and Treatments Vascular Surgery in Bannerghatta Road

Varicose Vein Surgery (EVLT and Vein Stripping)

Varicose vein surgery is crucial for individuals dealing with discomfort and cosmetic concerns caused by enlarged veins. Two advanced techniques are Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) and vein stripping. EVLT involves using laser energy to seal off the affected veins, which promotes healthier blood circulation by redirecting blood to functioning veins. Vein stripping, a more traditional approach, involves surgically removing or tying off the malfunctioning veins. These procedures alleviate pain, prevent ulcerations, and significantly enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from venous disorders. By using minimally invasive techniques like EVLT, recovery times are reduced, and patients can quickly return to their daily routines.

Peripheral Angiogram and Angioplasty

Peripheral angiogram and angioplasty are vital in treating peripheral vascular disease, which affects blood flow in limbs. An angiogram is a diagnostic test that uses X-ray imaging and a contrast dye to visualize blood vessels, identifying blockages. Once detected, angioplasty is performed to treat these narrow or blocked arteries by inserting a small balloon via a catheter to widen them, often accompanied by placing a stent to keep the artery open. These procedures are instrumental in preventing severe complications like gangrene and limb amputations, restoring proper blood flow, and improving mobility and quality of life for patients.

Aneurysmal Repair and Stenting

Aneurysmal repair and stenting are critical in managing aneurysms, which are dangerous bulges in blood vessels due to weakened arterial walls. This intervention involves the placement of a stent graft inside the blood vessel at the site of the aneurysm, which supports the vessel wall and prevents rupture. This minimally invasive procedure reduces the risk associated with traditional open surgery, offering faster recovery and less post-operative trauma. It's essential for preventing life-threatening complications such as internal bleeding, ensuring patients can enjoy a secure and active lifestyle post-treatment.

Aneurysmal Dissection Surgery

Aneurysmal dissection surgery is an urgent procedure aimed at treating dissections—splits within the layers of arteries, often seen in aorta cases. The surgery involves removing the damaged part of the artery and replacing it with a synthetic graft, stabilizing the vessel and restoring proper blood flow. This surgical intervention is crucial to prevent further tearing and potential rupture, which can be fatal. Our advanced techniques ensure precise execution and reduced recovery times, allowing patients to regain their health swiftly and securely.

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.

Learn More
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.

Learn More
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. 

Learn More
   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.

Learn More
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.

Learn More
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.

Learn More
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.

Learn More
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.

Learn More
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. 

Learn More
   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.

Diagnostics and Tests under Vascular Surgery in Bannerghatta Road

Venogram

A venogram involves injecting a contrast dye and using X-rays to visualize veins, primarily for identifying blood clots. It helps in diagnosing conditions affecting circulation, providing a clear map of vein health and guiding appropriate treatment strategies for vascular conditions.

Learn More
Angiogram

An angiogram is an imaging test that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize arteries. It's crucial for diagnosing blocked or narrowed vessels, enabling tailored interventions like angioplasty and stenting. It ensures precision in treatment planning for vascular diseases.

Learn More
Lymphangiogram

A lymphangiogram is an imaging test that visualizes the lymphatic system using a contrast dye. It is used to identify blockages, tumors, or abnormalities in the lymph vessels, aiding in diagnosing lymphedema and guiding targeted therapies for lymphatic disorders.

Learn More
Thrombophilia Workup

A thrombophilia workup involves blood tests that check for disorders causing abnormal blood clotting. It’s vital for patients with clotting issues or those with a family history of thrombosis, aiding in the prevention and management of clot-related complications.

Learn More
PT, APTT, INR

These coagulation tests evaluate blood clotting ability. Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR) are critical for monitoring blood-thinning therapies and ensuring balanced clotting, preventing adverse events like bleeding or clots.
