Vascular surgery is a surgical specialty that needs years of high-level training to master. Vascular surgery purpose is to treat vascular conditions and diseases such as the diseases of arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels. Arteries and veins are a little pipes that function to carry blood and oxygen to and from the heart, lymphatics on the other hand regulate body water and help the body to fight infections.
Sometimes problems or malfunction can happen in this vascular system, most of the time it is problems related to atherosclerosis and narrowing of blood vessels. In those condition and usually after the failure of conservative treatment, the role of the vascular surgeon comes to treat those problems.
Aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the patient suffers from dilation of the aorta, which is the main artery coming out of the heart, and this dilation is often at the abdominal part, where there is an increase in the diameter of the aorta by more than 50% of its normal diameter.
In carotid artery disease, the patient gets a blockage or narrowing of the carotid arteries which are the main arteries which deliver blood to the brain, and this narrowing happens as a result of arteriosclerosis, and results in reduction of the blood that reaches the brain, and in some cases may cause symptoms that are similar to strokes.
