Vascular surgeons perform a range of procedures, including:

Angioplasty and stenting: Involves using a balloon to open blocked arteries and placing a stent to keep the artery open.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to seal off varicose veins.

Vein stripping: A surgical procedure to remove large varicose veins.

Bypass surgery: Creates a detour around blocked arteries using grafts to restore normal blood flow.

Aneurysm repair: Uses surgical or endovascular methods to repair weakened arterial walls and prevent rupture.

Carotid endarterectomy: Removes plaque from the carotid arteries to prevent stroke.

VenaSeal: A modern treatment for varicose veins where a medical adhesive is used to seal the affected veins, offering a minimally invasive option with a quick recovery time.
