More About Endovascular Surgeon
An endovascular surgeon treats problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or "ballooning" of the blood vessel.
The investigations include the use of high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in the blood vessels.
Smptoms like Varicose veins, swollen, twisted veins that can cause pain or aching in your legs, Venous ulcers and arterial and diabetic (neuropathic) wounds, which are nonhealing wounds that result from poor blood flow, especially in the legs.
Vascular and endovascular surgery are both modalities to treat vascular disease. Endovascular describes a minimally invasive approach commonly done through needle puncture and a sheath wheras the vascular surgery is more invasive and involves incisions, which is more surgical in nature.
Endovascular surgery does have potential complications, which may include Blockage of the blood flow through the graft.
