About Vascular Intervention

Vascular intervention, performed by vascular surgeons, is a minimally invasive or open surgical procedure designed to diagnose and treat diseases of the blood vessels (arteries and veins). These techniques restore proper blood flow, relieve symptoms, and prevent serious complications like stroke, limb loss, or organ damage. Common procedures include angioplasty (using a balloon to open a narrowed vessel), stenting (placing a mesh tube to keep the vessel open), atherectomy (removing plaque), and thrombolysis (dissolving blood clots). Vascular surgeons use advanced imaging guidance to precisely navigate catheters and instruments through the vascular system, offering patients effective treatment with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Key Highlights

    Minimally Invasive Options: Many procedures use small incisions, reducing trauma, pain, and scarring.Improved Blood Flow: Effectively restores circulation to vital organs and limbs.Symptom Relief: Alleviates pain, cramping, wounds, and other symptoms of vascular disease.listrongPrevents Serious Complications:/strong Reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, limb amputation, and other life-threatening events./lilistrongFaster Recovery:/strong Typically allows for a quicker return to daily activities compared to major open surgery./lilistrongHigh Precision:/strong Utilizes real-time imaging (fluoroscopy, ultrasound) for accurate treatment./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) causing leg pain, non-healing wounds, or gangrene.
  • Carotid artery stenosis (narrowing) to prevent stroke.
  • Aortic aneurysms (abdominal or thoracic) to prevent rupture.
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
  • Renal artery stenosis causing high blood pressure or kidney failure.
  • Critical limb ischemia (severe blockage threatening limb survival).
  • Varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency with severe symptoms.
  • Dialysis access creation or maintenance for kidney failure patients.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and detailed vascular imaging (ultrasound, CTA, MRA).
  • Review of all current medications; you may be asked to temporarily stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin).
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
  • Informed consent process where the surgeon explains the procedure, benefits, and risks.
  • Arranging for transportation home post-procedure, as you will not be able to drive.
  • Showering with an antibacterial soap the night before or morning of the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding, bruising, or infection at the catheter insertion site.
  • Damage to the blood vessel, including dissection, perforation, or pseudoaneurysm.
  • Allergic reaction to contrast dye used during imaging.
  • Blood clot formation (thrombosis) or dislodgement (embolism).
  • Kidney injury from contrast dye, especially in patients with pre-existing kidney problems.
  • Restenosis (re-narrowing of the treated vessel over time).
  • Rare risks include stroke, heart attack, or limb loss, depending on the specific procedure and patient health.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Immediate post-procedure monitoring in a recovery area to check vital signs and the access site.
  • You may need to lie flat for several hours to prevent bleeding from the groin access site.
  • Drink plenty of fluids to help flush contrast dye from your kidneys.
  • Keep the insertion site clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, fever).
  • Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and driving for the period specified by your surgeon (often 24-48 hours).
  • Attend all follow-up appointments for wound checks, imaging, and medication management.
  • Adopt long-term lifestyle changes: quit smoking, manage cholesterol/blood pressure, exercise, and take prescribed medications (like antiplatelets).
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-2 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-4 weeks
