Vascular Surgery is that branch of Surgery that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases in general (arteries, veins, lymphatics).

Diagnostics – Executable examinations:

  • Specialist examination vascular surgery
  • Specialist examination angiology
  • Specialist phlebology examination
  • Echocolordoppler examination cerebroafferent vessels (carotid, vertebral)
  • Arterial and venous echocolordoppler examination of the lower limbs
  • Arterial and venous echocolordoppler examination of the upper limbs
  • Echocolordoppler examination of abdominal vessels (aorta and iliac vessels, cava and iliac veins)
  • Echocolordoppler examination of renal and visceral arteries
  • Saliva (DNA) tests for cardiovascular risk assessment and thrombophilia
  • Assessments of vascular malformations
  • Diagnosis and treatment of deep and superficial venous thrombosis

Outpatient treatments

  • Sclerotherapy of capillaries, reticular veins, varices
  • Lower extremity varices with minimally invasive techniques (lkaser, radiofrequency, sclerotherapy, CHIVA) under ambulatorial and under local anesthesia
  • Mechanical lymphatic drainage (or pressotherapy) for edema or phlebolymphedema
  • Elastocompressive bandages
  • Treatment of ulcers and skin injuries in general (decubitus, phlebostatic, lymphatic, arteriopathic ulcers)
  • Heterologous skin grafts
  • Small amputations in patients with diabetic foot
  • Incision and drainage of hematomas

Surgical interventions:

  • Incision and drainage of thrombosed hematomas and varicose goiters
  • Placement of central venous catheters (PIC, PORT etc)
  • Placement of caval fiilters (in the prevention/treatment of thromboembolism)
  • Peripheral angioplasties in arteriopathic patients
  • Major and minor lower limb amputations
  • Treatment of vascular malformations
