Vascular Surgery is the medical discipline that specialises in the diagnosis, investigation and medical/surgical treatment of diseases of the arteries, veins (varicose veins & ulcers) and lymphatics. Until recently, the diagnosis of arterial diseases has relied upon Angiography (an invasive procedure). Now, Duplex Ultrasound, CT and MRI Scans have made the diagnosis of Arterial & Venous Disease much less invasive.

Whilst the treatment of Vascular Disease is not yet completely non-invasive, new developments in Catheter based treatments (Angioplasty, stent, sclerotherapy) have transformed much of Vascular Therapy into minimally invasive procedures. For more information please call the number above.
