What is Vascular Surgery?
Vascular Surgery involves focusing on the heart and lungs and conditions which affect the health of the circulatory system, including arteries and veins. If an individual has problems with the arteries and veins, they may have to undergo vascular surgery. The medical professional must handle your issues correctly, enabling you to get the correct treatment, as vascular issues can be serious and if left untreated can lead to some dangerous complications to your health. At Solicitors On Your Side, we understand that facing vascular problems can be extremely unpleasant, especially if the procedure is carried out negligently.
Common Vascular Problems
- Peripheral artery disease leads to progressive thickening of the arteries
- Abnormal aortic aneurysms are bulges that occur in weakened regions of the wall of an arterial blood vessel
- Atherosclerosis, which is a vascular disease that is caused by a build-up of plaque in the inner lining of the arteries
- Carotid artery disease is the narrowing or blockage of the carotid
