Vascular Surgery Consultation in Ibiza
Vascular surgery is a surgical speciality that is related to angiology. It is the area that deals with the study, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular pathologies.
If you have any pathology related to vascular surgery, at our medical centre in Ibiza we have the best specialists in this field.
What is vascular surgery
Vascular surgery specialises in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the vascular system, which includes veins and arteries. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the organs and extremities, while veins return blood to the heart. Vascular surgeons are specialists who assess and treat these conditions to ensure proper blood flow.
These professionals are trained to manage a wide variety of vascular conditions, such as varicose veins, ulcers, diabetic foot, aneurysms and other circulatory disorders. Depending on the patient’s situation, there are different approaches, from preventive treatments to minimally invasive interventions or more complex surgical procedures.
With the expert care of vascular surgeons, patients can receive proper management of their vascular conditions, improving their quality of life and preventing potential complications. Each case is individually assessed to offer the best treatment options available.
Pathologies
There are several pathologies that may require evaluation by a vascular surgery specialist. Some of the most common are as follows:
- Varicose veins: Veins that dilate when the valves do not close properly, which can hinder the return of blood to the heart and cause venous insufficiency.
- Arteriosclerosis: Occurs when arteries become narrowed due to the accumulation of fat in the walls, which can increase with ageing or factors such as smoking.
- Thrombosis: The formation of thrombi that can block major vessels such as the heart, lungs or brain.
- Phlebitis: The formation of blood clots in the veins of the legs, which can travel to the lungs and cause pulmonary thrombosis.
- Lymphoedema: accumulation of fluid in the arms or legs due to blockage of the lymphatic ducts.
- Ulcers: Form in the legs when there is inadequate venous return, which can lead to scaling, itching and other symptoms.
- Aneurysm: Abnormal dilation of an artery or vein, which in severe cases can lead to internal bleeding.
- Vascular trauma: Damage to veins, arteries or lymphatic vessels, especially in the extremities, which may be due to trauma or injury.
To diagnose and treat vascular pathologies, there are techniques that make it possible to obtain images of the vascular system and detect anomalies.
Treatment
Within vascular surgery, different treatments can be carried out. Many of them are surgical and vary according to the pathology.
Among the most common treatments are aneurysm repair, phlebectomy, stenting, bypass, radiofrequency or laser, among others.
When to see a vascular surgeon?
There are various conditions of the circulatory system that may require evaluation by a vascular surgery specialist. A common example is the presence of varicose veins or other venous disorders, which may go beyond the cosmetic aspect and be associated with more complex conditions such as thrombi or ankle ulcers.
Another reason for consultation is the diagnosis of an aortic aneurysm, an abnormal dilatation of an artery that can occur in the chest, abdomen or extremities. Aneurysms are usually detected through imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT or MRI scans, and should be evaluated to determine the best course of action.
As for the carotid arteries, arteriosclerosis or hardening of these arteries can cause circulatory problems, which in some cases manifest themselves through events such as a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA).
Finally, peripheral arterial disease is another condition that may require specialised care. Depending on its severity, it can produce anything from mild claudication to severe foot pain.
