Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgeons specialise in managing diseases & disorders that affect the blood vessels (the arteries and veins) with a variety of therapies, minimally invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. Procedures to treat arteries and veins include angiography (performed to view blood vessels in many areas of the body), stenting (inserting a small tube to keep a blood vessel open), repair of an aneurysm (an abnormal widening or ballooning of part of a vein or artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel); and treatment of obstructions in arteries, as well as other conditions.
