Vascular surgery
Vascular surgery is called upon when the arterial, venous and lymphatic vessel system and therefore the circulation of the blood are impaired due to diseases, injuries or accidents.
Key areas of treatment include aneurysms, atherosclerosis, narrowings and occlusions of the blood vessels (peripheral arterial disease, also commonly known as window shopper’s disease), as well as widenings of the vessels (such as varices, or varicose veins as they are more commonly known). Surgical procedures are used to make the vessels patent again, with bypasses being created or entire vascular prostheses being deployed.
