 Vascular Surgery Information on Healthline
Vascular surgery is the treatment of surgery on diagnosed patients with diseases of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems (excluding the intracranial and coronary arteries).
Vascular diseases are usually caused by conditions that clog or weaken blood vessels, or damage valves that control the flow of blood in and out of the veins, thus robbing them of vital blood nutrients and oxygen.
Surgery is used to treat specific diseased arteries, such as atherosclerosis, to help prevent strokes or heart attacks, improve or relieve angina or hypertension, remove aneurysms, improve claudication, and save legs that would otherwise have to be amputated.

Vascular disease also encompasses a variety of painful and disabling disorders that affect the veins; leg ulcers, varicose veins and "bad veins" due to incompetent valves.
The Vascular Institute has also developed a technique of laparoscopically-assisted aortic aneurysm repair in which a camera is inserted through a small incision to give the surgeon a clear, detailed view of the operating field and assist in the repair of the aneurysm.
This includes balloon angioplasty (inflation of a balloon within a blood vessel) to create a wider channel for increased blood flow, the use of expandable metal tubes, known as stents, placed within the vessel to maintain the widened channel, and thrombolytic therapy, which is medication injected through a catheter to dissolve blood clots.
