The Department of Vascular Surgery at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad treats vascular conditions such as:
Carotid Artery Disease: Carotid artery disease occurs when plaque (fatty deposits) accumulate in the inner lining of the carotid arteries, blood vessels that deliver blood to the brain and head. Such blockage can increase the risk of stroke and other severe health emergencies. This condition develops slowly and one of the first signs of the presence of the condition could be a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): This condition develops when the major blood vessels that are responsible for supplying blood to the heart are damaged or diseased. Plaque deposits in the coronary arteries and inflammation are usually the common cause of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease may not only restrict the blood flow to the heart, but can also cause angina (chest pain), shortness of breath, or even complete blockage that can lead to a heart attack.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): The condition is also referred to as peripheral artery disease. This is a common circulatory problem in which the arteries are narrowed, reducing blood flow to the limbs. On developing the peripheral arterial disease, the extremities – usually the legs – don’t receive enough blood flow. This causes claudication, a condition that causes leg pain while walking.
Aneurysm: This condition occurs when part of an artery wall weakens, allowing it to widen abnormally. Most of the time the causes of the condition are unknown. In some cases it is congenital, in other cases it is the result of aortic disease or an injury.
Venous Thrombosis: Venous thrombosis is most commonly referred to as blood clot. Deep vein thrombosis is one of the most common types of venous thrombosis that causes clot in a deep vein, usually the leg.
Lymphedema: This condition causes swelling in the arms or legs. Usually, the swelling is in one of either, but in some cases, the swelling occurs in both arms or both legs. Lymphedema is usually caused by the removal of or damage to the lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment.
Mesenteric Artery Disease: It is a condition that develops when the arteries in the abdomen, that supply blood to the intestines, are narrowed due to the build-up of plaque. Lack of blood in the intestines interrupts their functioning and can lead to other health issues.
Renovascular Disease: It is a disease that affects the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys and interrupts their functioning. High blood pressure and/or kidney failure can be the adverse outcome of the condition.
