Smoking, diabetes, and high cholesterol are risk factors that contribute to peripheral vascular disease by blocking blood vessels.
Vascular Surgeons restore circulation by unblocking the affected artery with angioplasty, or by replacing the blocked artery with a bypass graft.
Vascular Surgeons play an important role in stroke prevention by diagnosing and treating carotid artery disease.
Vascular Surgeons treat leg pain while walking, or claudication, which is the result of poor blood flow to the legs.
Vascular Surgeons treat limb-threatening conditions like diabetic gangrene.
Vascular Surgeons also treat aneurysms of the aorta. If left untreated, aneurysms of the aorta may result in rupture and abdominal catastrophe. Techniques range from open surgery to minimally invasive endovascular methods that restore blood flow with a small stent, or balloon, inside the blood vessel, rather than performing a big operation.
Vascular Surgeons also treat venous disease (varicose veins) and lymphatic disease.
Venous disease, or varicose veins, affect nearly one-third of people and gets worse with age and obesity. Venous disease encompasses a wide range of symptoms, from painful, small, spider veins, to restless leg syndrome, to venous ulcers. Most patients in wound centers have complications from advanced venous disease. Surgery for venous disease includes endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, and phlebectomy, and are performed as office-based or ambulatory procedures (outpatient procedures).
Vascular Surgeons also diagnose and treat leg swelling, or lymphedema.

Why choose an UberDoc Specialist for your Vascular Surgery needs?
A vascular surgeon treats diseases of the blood vessels (arteries and veins) outside of the heart, including peripheral artery disease (PAD), aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and chronic venous insufficiency.
See a vascular surgeon if you experience leg pain when walking (claudication), non-healing wounds on the legs or feet, swollen or painful leg veins, cold or discolored extremities, or if imaging has shown a vascular abnormality.
No. A vascular surgeon also performs minimally invasive endovascular procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and catheter-directed thrombolysis. Surgery is reserved for complex cases where endovascular techniques are insufficient.
