Vascular Surgery

    • Vascular surgery covers a range of surgical procedures undertaken on arteries veins and the lymphatic system. The most important part is to reconstruct, unblock or bypass arteries that are blocked by atherosclerosis.

    • These precision procedures, restore blood flow to organs of the body helping to reduce sudden death, preventing strokes, restoring movement and reducing the risk of amputation.

    • A further important role is to manage aortic aneurysms, which, when these rupture, can rapidly lead to death.

    • Advances in techniques and technology over the last three decades have meant it is possible to carry out a greater number of these limb, organ and life-saving procedures, even on more complex patients.

  • Varicose and thread veins - endovenous ablation,  sclerotherapy

  • Through a Multi-Disciplinary Team approach with our Radiologists and Vascular Laboratory the correct investigations are undertaken in a timely fashion.

    We offer:

    Doppler ultrasound: this allows us to see your blood flow within arteries and veins in real time.

    CT angiogram: we take x-ray images from several different angles to build a 3D picture of what is happening inside your body

    MR angiogram: this allows us to create detailed images especially including the soft tissues

    Nuclear Medicine:

    • PET

    • Lymphocyntogram

    Formal angiogram or venogram: If there is doubt from the non-invasive imaging techniques this allows us to see inside your blood vessels definitively with the additional ability to replicate movements that compress vessels.

    IVUS or intravascular ultrasound: This allows us to see inside your blood vessels more precisely during the time of performing either an angiogram or venogram.

  • I believe in ensuring a bespoke treatment plan for my patients taking into consideration their disease severity and individual risk profile.

    I work within an experienced Multi- Disciplinary Team of consultants to ensure that no detail is missed to deliver the best outcome

    We may offer:

    Best medical therapy - Blood thinners: this helps prevent blood clots

    Endovascualr therapy using wires, catheters, balloons and stents: We are able to hold your artery or vein open. This is a minimally invasive procedure

    Surgery: To reroute your blood using your own vein or a synthetic graft to bypass the blocked section causing the pain.

    Hybrid Surgery: Using both Endovascular and conventional Surgery to improve flow of blood.

    Thrombolysis: A minimally invasive procedure to deliver clot-busting medicine directly to blood clots

    Other specialised treatments in relation to specific conditions.

    • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Botox, First Rib resection and scalenectomy

    • Hyperhidrosis: Botox, Thoracic Sympathectomy

    Venous interventions such as EVLT, Venefit or Glue
