Vascular surgeons treat a wide array of conditions affecting the vascular system, including:

Varicose veins: Enlarged veins often in the legs that can cause pain and swelling. Treatments include traditional methods like vein stripping and modern techniques like VenaSeal and Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT).

Peripheral artery disease (PAD): Narrowing of arteries in the legs, leading to pain and mobility issues.

Aneurysms: Abnormal bulges in artery walls, such as abdominal or thoracic aneurysms, which require careful monitoring and surgical intervention if necessary.

Carotid artery disease: Blockages in the carotid arteries that can increase stroke risk, treated through procedures like carotid endarterectomy.

Chronic venous insufficiency: Poor blood flow in the veins of the legs, leading to symptoms such as swelling and ulcers.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in deep veins, usually in the legs, that can lead to serious complications.
