Peripheral Vascular Surgery

Peripheral vascular surgery is a specialized area of cardiovascular surgery that focuses on treating blood vessel problems outside of the heart and brain, typically in the arms, legs, and abdomen. This surgery addresses issues like atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed due to plaque buildup, leading to reduced blood flow. It may involve procedures like angioplasty to open blocked vessels or bypass surgery to create new pathways for blood flow. By improving circulation, peripheral vascular surgery can relieve symptoms like pain and help prevent serious complications, enhancing overall cardiovascular health.
