Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgeons diagnose and treat disorders of the vessels that carry blood away from (arteries) and back to (veins) your heart.

These disorders can include blockages and narrowing of the vessels, abnormal swellings of the vessels (aneurysm) or vessel malfunctions.

Vascular disorders often involve other body systems and during your treatment we will work with other medical specialists such as radiologists and general physicians.

When you come for your appointment, your surgeon will ask questions about your illness and examine you to try to determine or confirm the diagnosis. 

You may also need a number of tests (for example blood tests, x-rays, scans).  Sometimes these can all be done during one visit. In other cases, you will need to come to several follow-up appointments.

Once a diagnosis has been made your surgeon will discuss your treatment with you. In some cases this will mean surgery, while other cases can be managed with medication and advice. Your surgeon will discuss with you the surgical process and the likely outcome.

You will need to be referred to our service by your GP or specialist.
