Vascular Surgery

About Our Vascular Surgery Department

Are you looking for the best vascular surgeons in Mumbai? Look no further than the Vascular Surgery Department at AHI.

Vascular surgery as a surgical subspecialty has evolved from general and cardiovascular surgery to provide specialized care exclusively for vessels of the body, not the organs. The Department of Vascular surgery at the Asian Heart Institute works in close association with the other departments, such as cardiac surgery, cardiology, and vascular medicine. With this comprehensive approach, we provide a wide range of services for treating and managing diverse vascular disorders with a high success rate.

With the support of state-of-the-art technologies, our trained vascular surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of vascular conditions involving the aorta, peripheral arteries and veins, carotid and other extracranial vessels supplying the brain, lymphatic vessels, and other blood vessels of the body.

They also help other surgeons perform operations near blood vessels and manage vascular injuries. This includes controlling bleeding, carefully separating tissues, blocking blood flow when needed, and safely exposing blood vessels. Our focus remains on high patient safety and the best possible treatment outcomes.

Conditions We Treat

The following are the common conditions that are treated at the Vascular Surgery Department of AHI:

• Aortic aneurysm: Abnormal bulging or widening of the aorta. If left untreated, it can rupture and become a life-threatening condition.
• Blood clots: Abnormal clot formation in blood vessels that causes blockage of normal blood flow.
• Carotid artery disease: Narrowing or blockage of carotid arteries. If left untreated, it can lead to stroke.
• Chronic venous insufficiency: Poor vein function and impaired venous blood flow causing leg swelling, pain, and skin changes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Presence of an abnormal blood clot in a deep vein, particularly in veins of the legs.
• Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD): Abnormal growth of artery wall causing narrowing or aneurysms.
• May-Thurner syndrome: Compression of a pelvic vein resulting in leg swelling and clot formation.
• Mesenteric artery ischemia: Abdominal pain because of impaired blood flow to the intestines
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD): Narrowing of blood vessels that reduces blood flow to the limbs (arms & legs).
• Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES): Compression of the artery behind the knee due to muscle pressure.
• Renal artery stenosis: Narrowing of blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the kidney, affecting the blood pressure and kidney function.
• Thoracic outlet syndrome: Compression of nerves or vessels between the neck and shoulder.
• Varicose veins: Enlargement and twisting of veins because of faulty vein valves.
• Visceral and peripheral arterial aneurysms: Abnormal dilatation of blood vessels supplying blood to organs or limbs
