What is vascular surgery?
Vascular surgery is a surgical specialty that involves treatment of the vascular, or circulatory, system (arteries and veins) outside the heart. Most often, vascular disease affects blood flow, either by blocking or weakening blood vessels, or by damaging the valves that are found in veins. Organs and other body structures may be damaged by vascular disease as a result of decreased or completely blocked blood flow.
Common causes of vascular disease include atherosclerosis (plaque build-up), embolus/thrombus (blockage/clots), inflammation and trauma involving blood vessels. Two examples of vascular diseases and effects are coronary artery disease (heart attack, angina) and peripheral vascular disease (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).
Typical procedures performed by Community's vascular surgeons include carotid stenting, sclerotherapy, angioplasty, atherectomy, bypass surgery, thrombectomy and other related procedures. Learn more about vascular conditions and diseases >>
