Vascular Surgeons in UAE | Book an Appointment | myAster

Veins swell when blood pools inside them instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart. This can occur for a variety of reasons, from totally harmless (a strenuous workout, a hot day) to potentially dangerous (a blood clot or deteriorating vein valves). Women are around three times more likely than men to develop varicose veins, the most prevalent chronic form of vein swelling, which affects 10-30% of the world's population. Vascular surgeons are specialists who treat conditions involving the arteries, veins and lymphatic system. They provide long-term treatment for chronic vascular disorders, treat conditions that impact blood flow, and avoid complications like stroke or limb loss. Their expertise includes open surgery, minimally invasive treatments, medical care, and diagnostic evaluation. People typically book a surgeon for varicose veins, leg swelling, circulation problems, or a wound that isn't healing as it should. Through myAster, you can compare available vascular surgeons by location, language and availability, then book directly.

What Conditions Does a Vascular Surgeon Treat?

Depending on the doctor and the facility, vascular surgeons manage:

• Varicose veins
• Chronic venous insufficiency
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Peripheral artery disease
• Carotid artery disease
• Aortic and peripheral aneurysms
• Diabetic foot and circulation complications
• Lymphoedema
• Non-healing wounds linked to poor circulation

Symptoms That May Require a Vascular Assessment

• Leg pain or cramping while walking
• Persistent leg or ankle swelling
• Painful or prominent veins
• Skin discoloration around the ankles
• Coldness, numbness or weakness in a limb
• Slow-healing foot or leg wounds
• Reduced pulses, or suspected circulation problems
• Recurrent blood clots or vein inflammation

Sudden severe limb pain, one-sided swelling, chest pain, breathing difficulty or stroke symptoms need immediate assessment, not a scheduled appointment further down the line.

Tests Used to Assess Arteries, Veins and Circulation

A vascular assessment might involve one test, or several, depending on your symptoms and history. Not every test applies to every patient, so the order of your tests depends on your symptoms, medical history, and the specialist's clinical judgment.

• Physical examination and pulse assessment
• Duplex or Doppler ultrasound
• Ankle-brachial pressure index
• CT angiography
• MR angiography
• Blood tests and additional imaging where necessary

Medical, Minimally Invasive and Surgical Treatments

Management approaches can vary quite widely, and might include:

1. Lifestyle and risk-factor management
2. Medication where clinically appropriate
3. Compression therapy, following a professional assessment
4. Wound and diabetic-foot care
5. Endovascular or catheter-based procedures
6. Open vascular surgery
7. Ongoing monitoring

Not every test or procedure is available at every Aster facility. It is important to confirm with the specific clinic beforehand if you're expecting a particular treatment.

A bit of preparation goes a long way toward a genuinely useful first visit. Bring along:

• Information about any previous vascular procedures
