Vascular Repair Treatment in Turkey
About Vascular Repair
Key Highlights
-
Restores normal blood flow to prevent tissue damage or organ failure.Can be performed using minimally invasive (endovascular) techniques for faster recovery.Prevents life-threatening complications like aneurysm rupture or limb amputation.Tailored to the specific vascular issue, such as blockages, injuries, or aneurysms.Utilizes durable materials like grafts and stents for long-lasting results.Helps alleviate symptoms like pain, numbness, and non-healing wounds./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysm (AAA/TAA) at risk of rupture.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) causing severe claudication or critical limb ischemia.
- Traumatic vascular injury from accidents or penetrating wounds.
- Carotid artery stenosis to prevent stroke.
- Arterial dissection or occlusion.
- Vascular malformations or fistulas.
- Failed previous vascular interventions requiring revision.
- Symptomatic aneurysms in other arteries (e.g., popliteal, visceral).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive vascular imaging (CT angiography, ultrasound, or MRA) to plan the repair.
- Pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and cardiac evaluation to assess surgical risk.
- Management of medications; may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, clopidogrel) as advised.
- Lifestyle adjustments like smoking cessation to improve healing.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is used.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional, or local) with the anesthesiologist.
- Informed consent process detailing the procedure, risks, and alternatives.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding, hematoma, or infection at the surgical site.
- Blood clot formation (thrombosis) leading to graft/stent blockage or embolism.
- Damage to adjacent nerves, organs, or blood vessels.
- Graft infection, leakage, or failure requiring re-intervention.
- Contrast-induced kidney injury (for endovascular procedures).
- Cardiac events like heart attack or arrhythmia, especially in high-risk patients.
- Limb ischemia or compartment syndrome in peripheral repairs.
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia, contrast dye, or graft materials.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring vital signs, incision sites, and circulation.
- Pain management with prescribed medications; early mobilization to prevent clots.
- Incision care instructions to keep the area clean and dry, watching for signs of infection.
- Gradual return to light activities; avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for several weeks.
- Regular follow-up visits and imaging (e.g., ultrasound) to monitor graft/stent function.
- Lifestyle modifications: healthy diet, regular walking, strict smoking cessation, and managing conditions like diabetes/hypertension.
- Adherence to prescribed medications, such as antiplatelets (e.g., aspirin) or statins.
- Reporting any new symptoms like pain, swelling, coolness, or discoloration in the limb immediately.
