Vascular surgery

Arterial circulation disorders are caused by atherosclerosis, which narrows the arteries, often leading to tissue oxygen deficiency. Oxygen deprivation may manifest as intermittent claudication, rest pain, ulcers, or tissue necrosis. Vascular surgeons can also help with arterial issues at their consultation.

Varicose veins develop when the valves in the veins of the lower limbs no longer function properly. Under normal conditions, the veins empty due to the muscle pump system. However, in varicose veins, the valves fail to work, causing blood to flow back into the veins, leading to a sensation of pressure in the legs. As the pressure increases, the vein bulges and becomes loose. This condition is referred to as venous insufficiency. Genetics play a significant role in the development of varicose veins, and in women, pregnancies are also a contributing factor. Additionally, jobs that require prolonged standing and being overweight increase the risk of developing varicose veins.
