Vascular Surgery…
...is the specialty that deals with blocked, bleeding or generally buggered arteries and veins. Vascular Surgeons deal with such arterial and venous “vessels” all over the body, except for the ones in the heart - Cardiothoracic surgeons love these - and the brain - Neurosurgeons cogitate upon those.
This section offers information about common vascular conditions in non-technical terms. It is provided as a public service towards improving individuals’ understanding of, engagement in and happiness with their health.
