At Nidhi Hospital, our Vascular Surgery Department provides advanced care for diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic systems (excluding coronary and intracranial vessels). When non-surgical treatments are insufficient, our vascular surgeons employ both open and endovascular techniques to restore circulation and prevent complications.

Definition & Purpose

• Vascular surgery involves diagnosing and surgically treating vascular diseases affecting arteries, veins, and lymphatics

• It is indicated when a vascular condition cannot be managed conservatively and requires surgical intervention

• The goal is to repair, bypass, or replace diseased vascular segments to restore adequate blood flow, reduce risk of organ damage, and prevent limb loss or life-threatening events

Who Needs Vascular Surgery? (Demographics & Risk Factors)

As people age, vascular diseases become more common—even if early stages are asymptomatic. Some main risk factors and contributors include:

• Age (blood vessels lose elasticity)

• Family history of vascular or heart disease

• Smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol

• Prolonged inactivity, trauma, or vascular injury

• Pregnancy, surgery, or conditions that compromise blood flow

Vascular Conditions Treated

Our vascular surgery team treats a broad range of vascular disorders:

Arterial Diseases

• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) / peripheral vascular disease (PVD)

• Aortic aneurysms (abdominal and thoracic)

• Carotid artery disease & stroke prevention

• Atherosclerosis, claudication, ischemia

• Embolism, thrombosis

Venous & Lymphatic Disorders

• Varicose veins & chronic venous insufficiency

• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) & venous ulcers

• Lymphatic obstruction, lymphedema

Other Vascular Surgeries

• Endarterectomy (removal of diseased inner arterial layer)

• Thrombectomy / embolectomy

• Graft resection and replacement

• Vascular surgery for erectile dysfunction (vasculogenic)

• Renal artery surgery, carotid endarterectomy

Diagnosis & Preoperative Evaluation

• Physical exam & clinical history (pulses, bruits)

• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

• Duplex ultrasonography / Doppler

• Segmental pressure test, plethysmography

• Lymphangiography / lymphoscintigraphy (for lymphatic disease)

Patients are evaluated holistically—cardiac, renal, pulmonary status, and comorbidities are optimized before surgery.

Aftercare, Recovery & Risks

Postoperative Care & Recovery

• Intensive care monitoring initially

• Hospital stay depends on procedure (for example, aneurysm repair may require 5–10 days)

• Gradual rehabilitation and lifestyle modifications

• Long-term monitoring for graft patency, patency, and vascular health

Potential Risks

• Bleeding, infection

• Graft blockage or failure

• Stroke or cardiac events

• Leg swelling (especially if vein used as graft)

• Impotence (in vascular surgeries)

• Higher risk in older or comorbid patients

Success rates are generally high for grafts, bypasses, and aneurysm repairs when patient selection and surgical technique are optimized.

These specialists bring extensive experience in both open and endovascular vascular surgery, supported by Nidhi Hospital’s modern infrastructure.
