SERVICES
ACCESS CREATION FOR DIALYSIS
It is common for a vascular surgeon to create an access point (vein) to filter out blood. Blood flows through a needle and moves through a tube, which is then transferred to the dialyser, whereby fibres remove waste and fluid in excess.
PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE
A diet high in cholesterol or fat can cause plaque to form inside the arterial walls, eventually blocking the passage of blood and causing peripheral arterial disease.
ANEURYSMS
Asymptomatic aneurysms occur when the blood vessel’s inner wall starts to balloon and is on the verge of rupturing, which can become life-threatening.
VENOUS DISORDERS
MAINLY VARICOSE VEINS AND DVTS
The veins are circulatory passages that enable the return of poorly oxygenated blood to the heart. Venous disorders affect the transfer of blood and can be cosmetically displeasing.
STROKES
A stroke is a life-threatening ailment when the blood supply to a particular brain region is cut off. For example, a stroke can occur due to an aneurysm that bursts, which eventually leads to permanent brain damage or death.
