Almana Hospital's Vascular Surgery Department

At Almana Hospital, Our Vascular surgery doctors are here to diagnose and treat the diseases of the vascular system, which includes arteries, veins, and lymph vessels. These blood vessels play a vital role in transporting blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products. When blood flow is compromised due to vascular diseases, it can lead to serious health complications.

Conditions We Treat:

  • Atherosclerosis: Hardening and narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow to the legs and feet
  • Carotid Artery Disease: Blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the brain, increasing the risk of stroke
  • Aortic Aneurysm: A bulge or weakening in the aorta, the main artery leaving the heart
  • Varicose Veins: Twisted and enlarged veins
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots that form in deep veins, often in the legs, and can travel to the lungs
  • Vascular malformations: Abnormal blood vessel development present at birth.

Vascular Surgery Procedures:

Vascular surgeons utilize a variety of techniques to address vascular diseases, including:

  • Bypass surgery: Creating a new channel for blood flow to bypass a blocked artery.
  • Angioplasty and stenting: Opening narrowed arteries using a balloon and inserting a stent to keep the artery open.
  • Aneurysm repair: Surgically repairing a weakened or bulging section of an artery.
  • Carotid endarterectomy: Removing plaque buildup from the carotid arteries to prevent stroke.
  • Varicose vein treatment: Several minimally invasive procedures are available to remove or close varicose veins.

If you are experiencing symptoms that suggest a vascular problem, such as leg pain, cramping, numbness, or changes in skin color don’t hesitate to book an appointment to see if vascular surgery might be a suitable treatment option.
