We live at a time where open vascular operations have been largely replaced by percutaneous minimally invasive procedures (also called endovascular).
Vascular patients should consult vascular surgeons with expertise in both endovascular and open procedures in order to receive the most appropriate treatment.
Minimally invasive vascular procedures reach utmost safety and success if they are performed in state of the art hybrid operating rooms with the use of high quality endovascular devices.

Carotid arteries are the main arteries to the brain. In some cases a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the wall of the arteries.
A state of the art, minimally invasive, pain free treatment of varicose veins
Deep venous thrombosis is the formation of blood clot in one of the deep veins. It occurs most of the times in the legs and more rarely in the abdomen, chest or arms.
A relatively common disease which very often is not diagnosed immediately and may lead to prolonged patient’s suffering.
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure treating a variety of vascular conditions.
Vascular malformations are abnormal vessels which usually increase in size and cause local symptoms of the affected area.
Diabetes is a systemic disease which affects many organs of the human body. If the arteries are involved, blockages are developed.
If the lymph vessels or lymph nodes are absent or damaged, lymph cannot circulate and causes swelling ( lymphedema) of the affected arms and legs.
Thoracic outlet is a small space between the collarbone and 1st rib. The blood vessels and nerves of the arm are in this space.
