Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a vascular surgeon?
A vascular surgeon is a blood vessel doctor. We specialize in fixing problems in your arteries and veins, like blockages, bulges (aneurysms), and varicose veins.

2. What is the difference between open and endovascular surgery?
Open surgery uses one larger cut to directly repair a blood vessel. Endovascular surgery is minimally invasive and uses a tiny puncture to fix the problem from the inside. This usually means less pain and a faster recovery.

3. What is Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)?
PAD is when the arteries in your legs get clogged, causing poor circulation. This can lead to pain or cramping when you walk. We have many ways to open up the arteries to improve blood flow and relieve your symptoms.

4. What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are the bulging veins you might see on your legs. They are usually caused by weak valves inside the veins that let blood pool, which can cause aching and swelling. There are many simple, minimally invasive treatments that can fix the problem veins.
