Department of Vascular Surgery
In the Syrian Specialized Hospital, the Department of Vascular Surgery provides comprehensive health care for patients with various types of peripheral vascular disorders, including diagnosis and treatment of diseases within a treatment plan that suits each case, as we aim to provide the most effective treatment to achieve the required health of the circulatory system.
The Department of Vascular Surgery is equipped with advanced technologies and infrastructure, with the support of a team of qualified and experienced surgeons.
The Vascular Surgery Department provides the following services:
First – diseases of the veins:
1. Varicose veins of the lower extremity:
Diagnosis by color Doppler
2. Deep Thrombophlebitis (D.V.T) Venous Thrombosis:
Confirm the diagnosis with color Doppler and appropriate treatment according to the case.
3. Chronic venous insufficiency: Diagnosis confirmed by color Doppler echocardiography and appropriate treatment.
Second – Arterial diseases:
1. Acute arterial embolism (arterial thrombosis)
The appropriate diagnosis is either by echo or by using a multi-slide CT scan and the appropriate surgical procedure for the case immediately and emergency.
2. Chronic arterial occlusion: Accurate diagnosis using multi-slice CT or catheter contrast imaging and appropriate arterial bypasses for each case for reperfusion of the affected limb.
3. Diabetic feet, taking care of them, conducting all necessary tests and investigations for accurate diagnosis and developing appropriate solution plans for each case (arterial connections – networks using catheters – balloon to expand leg arteries).
4. Strokes and carotid artery disease, which may be the cause, where atheromas and calcifications are removed from the carotid artery and reperfusion of the brain to prevent recurrence of clots.
5. Aneurysms (dilation and excessive expansion in the diameter of the artery): where the diagnosis is confirmed using a multi-slide CT scan and the appropriate treatment plan is developed for each case (monitoring or surgery to replace the dilated area using the appropriate prosthetic connections).
Third – Diagnosis of all surrounding arterial lesions:
This is done by using catheter imaging and providing appropriate treatment (metal meshes – balloon expansion).
Fourth – Hemodialysis (kidney dialysis):
Securing an entrance to the dialysis device (vestula, permanent catheter, or prosthetic connection).
