A medical specialty focused on treating conditions affecting the circulatory system, including arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Surgeons in this field address a wide range of vascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and peripheral artery disease. Procedures may involve the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of blood vessels to improve blood flow and prevent complications like strokes or limb loss. Minimally invasive techniques, such as endovascular procedures, are increasingly used. Vascular surgeons collaborate with other specialists to provide comprehensive care for patients with vascular issues, aiming to enhance circulation and overall cardiovascular health.
