Vascular surgery is a medical speciality focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation. This field addresses conditions that affect blood flow throughout the body, such as aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and carotid artery disease.

Vascular surgeons use both surgical and minimally invasive techniques to restore proper circulation, prevent complications, and improve overall vascular health. Treatments may include bypass surgery, endovascular procedures like angioplasty and stenting, vein stripping, and thrombectomy to remove blood clots. Preventive care and lifestyle management, such as controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, are integral to reducing the risk of vascular complications.

By maintaining or restoring blood flow, vascular surgery plays a crucial role in preventing strokes, heart attacks, limb loss, and other serious complications. Surgeons often collaborate with cardiologists, radiologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex vascular conditions.
