Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery is a branch of surgery that specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases related to the human circulatory system, including arteries and veins. The scope of vascular surgery is very wide, and all blood vessels in the body, except for those in the brain (belonging to the neurology department) and heart (belonging to the cardiovascular department), can be said to be within the scope of vascular surgery care.

Common clinical symptoms in vascular surgery

1. Ischemic pain

2. Pulsatile masses

3. Venous reflux obstruction swelling

4. Varicose veins

5. Cold limbs

6. Changes in skin color

7. Paralysis

8. Weakening or disappearance of pulse

9. Organizational destruction.

The above symptoms can occur singly or in combination, and need to be differentiated, especially for acute ischemia symptoms, which often require emergency treatment. Otherwise, the condition may be delayed, and irreversible damage to organ function may occur, even endangering life.

Currently treating common emergency diseases

Lower limb deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, various acute arterial ischemia (thrombosis or embolism), acute B-type aortic dissection, ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, ruptured visceral artery aneurysm, dialysis pathway thrombosis, vascular trauma, and diseases related to vascular causes have high incidence and mortality rates. After emergency admission or discovery by other departments within the hospital, our department can achieve rapid assessment, admission, and surgery.

Carry out work

Thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases (endovascular exclusion of thoracic aortic dissection, endovascular exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysm), carotid artery stenosis or occlusion (carotid endarterectomy and stent implantation), carotid body tumor resection, subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion surgery, radical surgery and endovascular treatment of Budd Chiari syndrome, visceral artery diseases (open surgery and endovascular treatment of visceral aneurysm, dissection or thrombus), arteriosclerotic occlusion of lower limbs can be performed with vascular bypass, endovascular angioplasty, stent implantation, plaque circumcision, surgery for acute embolism of peripheral arteries caused by atrial fibrillation, endovascular treatment for diabetes foot, and various complex minimally invasive surgery for chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins of lower limbs Zhang minimally invasive treatment, deep vein valve circumcision, iliac vein compression syndrome, etc.), One stop treatment for lower limb deep vein thrombosis: standardized anticoagulant therapy, catheter thrombolysis, catheter thrombus aspiration, large area pulmonary embolism catheter thrombolysis (fragmentation), endovascular treatment for post thrombotic syndrome, vascular tumor resection, sclerotherapy, establishment of arteriovenous fistula and comprehensive management of complications in dialysis patients, embolization of vascular interventional therapy for individual diseases in obstetrics and gynecology, such as uterine artery embolization, ovarian artery embolization, and placement of blocking balloons, treatment of tumor invasion of large blood vessels and various iatrogenic and non-medical vascular injuries, as well as interventional embolization chemotherapy for tumors, and management of various infusion tube complications.

Main treatment methods

Drug therapy, endovascular intervention surgery, and open surgery. With the development of various intravascular guide wires, catheters, and vascular stents, many surgical treatments for vascular diseases can be completed with small wounds, low damage, and less pain. The incidence rate of vascular disease is very high. Everyone will have vascular disease in the course of life, but the severity is different. Vascular diseases are bound to become increasingly common in an aging society, and the future goal of vascular surgery is to provide the most effective treatment for vascular diseases with minimal harm and pain.
