What Is Vascular Surgery?

Vascular surgeons are experts in the surgical treatment of diseases and disorders that affect the blood vessels, arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. Vascular surgery includes a wide range of surgical procedures that address these conditions, including aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and lymph node surgery.

Why Do You Need Cardiovascular Surgery or Vascular Surgery?

You may need cardiovascular or vascular surgery if you have a severe condition that affects your heart, blood vessels, or veins. Surgical intervention can repair or replace damaged parts or address problems affecting blood flow and heart function. Surgery is not always the first option to treat these conditions. Making key diet and lifestyle changes and taking medication can improve or reverse problems without the need for surgery. However, if more conservative treatment options have been ineffective, your cardiologist or vascular specialist may recommend a minimally invasive heart or vascular procedure or surgery.

Understanding Different Vascular Surgery Procedures

There is a wide range of vascular surgery procedures ranging from minimally invasive to major. The most common types of vascular surgery are:

• Aortic or Thoracic Aneurysm Repair – Repairs a bulge or swelling of the artery wall.
• Angioplasty – Uses a catheter to widen narrowed arteries or veins and remove plaque or blood clots.
• Arteriovenous Fistula – Creates a connection between an artery and vein to allow blood flow to a dialysis machine.
• Atherectomy – Removes plaque from blood vessels.
• Bypass Surgery – Creates a new path for blood flow around a blockage in an artery or vein.
• Carotid Endarterectomy – Removes plaque from the carotid artery.
• Endarterectomy – Removes plaque from blood vessels.
• Stenting – Inserts a mesh wire structure inside a blood vessel to keep it open.
• Transcarotid Artery Revascularization – Improves blood flow in the neck.
• Thoracic Outlet Repair – Addresses discomfort and circulation problems due to a compressed nerve or blood vessel.

Common Vascular Diseases

Vascular diseases affect the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients throughout your body and detoxify your tissues. A vascular disease can be caused by plaque buildup in your arteries or veins or a complication of an underlying health condition. The most common vascular diseases are:

• Aneurysms – An aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning of the artery wall. The most common types are thoracic aortic aneurysms and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
• Atherosclerosis – Atherosclerosis is a buildup of plaque in the arteries made up of fat, cholesterol, and calcium that causes a narrowing of the arteries.
• Carotid Artery Disease – This disease causes a narrowing or blockage of one or both of the carotid arteries that supply your brain. This can cause a transient ischemic attack or stroke.
• Chronic Venous Insufficiency – This disease prevents the flow of blood from your heart to your legs. It occurs when the venous wall or valves in your leg veins are not working properly, which prevents blood from returning to your heart from your legs.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis – A DVT is a blood clot that blocks the flow of blood through a vein.
• Peripheral Artery Disease – This disease occurs when the blood vessels outside of your heart develop a buildup of plaque that narrows the artery, which can lead to ischemia. The most common types of peripheral artery diseases are intestinal ischemic syndrome, renal artery syndrome, popliteal entrapment syndrome, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and Buerger’s disease.
• Varicose Veins – Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and discolored veins that are visible under the skin. They are most likely to develop in the legs and look purple, blue, or red.

Benefits of Visiting a Vascular Surgery Specialist

A vascular surgery specialist can help you explore conservative or minimally invasive treatment options that reverse your condition, relieve symptoms, and improve your overall health and quality of life. Nonsurgical options can be safer and less complex than surgical intervention, though they do require a commitment and dedication to change. A specialist can help you make changes to your diet, exercise routine, and lifestyle. If these methods don’t work, a vascular surgeon can recommend the right type of surgery for your condition, age, symptoms, and health. Vascular surgery can improve your quality of life, address life-threatening conditions and symptoms, and reduce your risk of further complications.
