Vascular Surgery: Saving Limbs, Saving Lives Do you have bulging veins on your calves or ankles? Or do you feel pain in your legs while walking? These signs aren\u2019t just age catching up \u2014 they could be early warnings of blocked blood vessels in your limbs. What Is Vascular Surgery? Vascular surgery is a specialised branch that treats diseases of the blood vessels in the body, except those of the heart and brain. Blood vessels include arteries and veins, where arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to various body parts, and veins bring deoxygenated blood back. When blood flow is blocked or restricted, it can lead to severe complications like stroke or gangrene. \u201cVascular surgeons are experts who ensure smooth blood flow to prevent strokes and limb loss. What Diseases Are Treated Under Vascular Surgery? Varicose Veins Symptoms of varicose veins Heaviness or aching sensation in the calves Bulging, bluish-purple veins are visible on the legs and ankles What\u2019s happening in the body? The one-way valves in the leg veins become weak This causes blood to pool in the veins instead of flowing back to the heart Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Symptoms of PAD: Pain in the legs while walking, relieved by rest (claudication) What\u2019s happening in the body? Plaque builds up in the arteries over time (atherosclerosis) This leads to the progressive narrowing of the vessels Reduced blood flow causes oxygen deprivation in tissues (ischaemia) Carotid Artery Disease (CAD) Symptoms of carotid disease: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body Episodes of dizziness, headache, slurred speech In severe cases, transient episodes of stroke or similar symptoms What\u2019s happening in the body? Plaque buildup narrows the carotid arteries in the neck This reduces blood flow to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke Aneurysm Symptoms of aneurysms: Throbbing or pulsating lump in the abdomen or behind the knee If ruptured: dizziness, shortness of breath, cold skin, unconsciousness What\u2019s happening in the body? Bulging or ballooning of a weakened artery wall If it ruptures, it causes internal bleeding and life-threatening shock Diabetic Foot Symptoms of diabetic foot: Painful, non-healing foot sores or ulcers in diabetic patients What\u2019s happening in the body? Poor circulation and nerve damage due to diabetes (neuropathy) Impaired wound healing and higher risk of infection Tissue death may occur, leading to black discolouration (gangrene) Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Symptoms of DVT: Swelling in the affected leg with pain Leg feels cool to the touch What\u2019s happening in the body?
