General Vascular Surgery

Objective: To diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels.

Examples: Management of aortic aneurysms, varicose veins, and peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Endovascular Surgery

Objective: To perform minimally invasive procedures to treat vascular conditions, using catheters and other instruments inserted through small incisions.

Examples: Angioplasty and stent placement for peripheral artery disease (PAD), endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for varicose veins, and aneurysm repair using endovascular stent grafts.

Aortic Surgery

Objective: To treat conditions affecting the aorta, including aneurysms, dissections, and occlusions.

Examples: Aortic aneurysm repair (open and endovascular), aortic dissection repair, and aortic bypass surgery.

Carotid Artery Surgery

Objective: To prevent stroke by treating blockages in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain.

Examples: Carotid endarterectomy to remove plaque buildup, and carotid artery stenting.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

Objective: To treat blockages or narrowing of the arteries outside the heart, often in the legs, leading to poor circulation.

Examples: Surgical bypass for leg arteries, angioplasty with stent placement, and vein grafting.

Venous Surgery

Objective: To treat conditions affecting the veins, including varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Examples: Sclerotherapy, vein stripping, laser therapy for varicose veins, and thrombectomy for DVT.

Dialysis Access Surgery

Objective: To create access points for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Examples: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation, AV grafting, and dialysis catheter placement.

Lymphatic Surgery

Objective: To treat disorders affecting the lymphatic system, which can lead to fluid buildup and swelling.

Examples: Lymphatic bypass surgery, lymph node dissection, and treatment for lymphedema.

Trauma and Emergency Vascular Surgery

Objective: To treat acute vascular injuries caused by trauma or other emergencies.

Examples: Management of traumatic arterial injuries, bleeding control, and vascular repair after accidents.

Vascular Access Surgery for Dialysis

Objective: To create and maintain vascular access for patients requiring hemodialysis.

Examples: Creation of arteriovenous fistulas, grafts, and central venous catheters for dialysis.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

Objective: To treat varicose veins using laser energy to close abnormal veins.

Examples: EVLT for large varicose veins, laser treatment for spider veins, and radiofrequency ablation.
