Vascular Surgery at Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai

Welcome to the Vascular Surgery Department at Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai. Our team of highly skilled vascular surgeons is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with vascular conditions. Utilizing the latest advancements in medical technology, we offer both traditional and minimally invasive treatments to ensure the best possible outcomes.

What is Vascular Surgery?

Vascular surgery is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. These procedures aim to restore proper blood flow, prevent complications, and improve overall vascular health.

Conditions We Treat

Our Vascular Surgery Department is equipped to manage a wide range of vascular conditions, including:

  • Aortic Aneurysms: Repair of weakened or enlarged sections of the aorta to prevent rupture.

  • Carotid Artery Disease: Treatment to prevent stroke by addressing blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the brain.

  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Management of blocked arteries in the limbs to improve blood flow and prevent limb loss.

  • Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Treatment of vein disorders that cause poor blood circulation in the legs.

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Management of blood clots in the deep veins to prevent complications.

  • Varicose Veins: Minimally invasive treatments to alleviate pain and improve the appearance of varicose veins.

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Treatment of compression in the thoracic outlet affecting blood vessels and nerves.

  • Venous Leg Ulcers: Comprehensive care for chronic wounds caused by venous insufficiency.

Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Options

We offer a variety of advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options to ensure precise and effective care:

Diagnostic Services

  • Duplex Ultrasonography: Non-invasive imaging to assess blood flow and detect blockages or abnormalities.

  • CT and MR Imaging: High-resolution imaging for detailed evaluation of vascular conditions.

  • Doppler Tests: Measurement of blood flow and pressure in the arteries and veins.

Treatment Services

  • Endovascular Procedures: Minimally invasive techniques such as angioplasty, stenting, and endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) for varicose veins.

  • Surgical Interventions: Traditional open surgeries for complex conditions like aortic aneurysms and carotid artery disease.

  • Thrombolysis: Medication-based treatment to dissolve blood clots in the arteries or veins.

  • Sclerotherapy: Injection of a solution to treat spider veins and small varicose veins.

  • Vascular Access for Dialysis: Creation and maintenance of access points for patients requiring long-term dialysis.

Advanced Endovascular Procedures

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR)

Our vascular surgery team specializes in Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR), a minimally invasive procedure used to treat various thoracic aortic conditions. TEVAR is particularly effective for treating complicated type B aortic dissections, offering better early results compared to conventional therapy. This innovative approach not only promotes thrombosis of the false lumen but also helps prevent long-term aortic enlargement.

Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR)

We offer Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR) as a less invasive alternative to open surgery for treating aortic aneurysms. This procedure involves inserting a stent-graft through small incisions in the groin, guided by advanced imaging techniques, to reinforce the weakened aortic wall.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

At Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai, we understand the importance of early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment program includes:

  • Utilization of advanced risk assessment tools tailored for diverse populations, including those specific to Asian demographics.

  • Implementation of the latest guidelines for assessing and managing CVD risk, such as the 2023 Australian Guideline.

  • Personalized risk evaluation using factors such as age, sex, smoking status, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and diabetes status.

Risk Categories and Management

Based on your assessment, we categorize your CVD risk as follows:

  • High: ≥10% risk over 5 years

  • Intermediate: 5 to <10% risk over 5 years

  • Low: <5% risk over 5 years

Our team provides tailored recommendations for risk management, including lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medical interventions to reduce your cardiovascular risk.

Cardiovascular Thoracic Services

Our Vascular Surgery Department works closely with our Cardiothoracic Surgery team to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting the heart and thoracic aorta. We offer a range of services, including:

  • Surgical and endovascular treatments for thoracic aortic aneurysms

  • Management of acute and chronic aortic dissections

  • Interventions for thoracic outlet syndrome

By integrating advanced endovascular techniques, comprehensive risk assessment, and specialized cardiovascular thoracic services, we strive to provide cutting-edge, patient-centered care for all vascular and cardiovascular conditions at Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai.
