Advanced Vascular Surgery for Effective Blood Vessel Repair
Get advanced vascular surgery with experienced specialists. Restore healthy blood flow, improve circulation, and enhance overall vascular function effectively.
Vascular Surgery
Vascular Surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the blood vessels arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation throughout the body (except the brain and heart). These vessels are responsible for carrying blood and oxygen to all tissues, and when they become blocked, narrowed, or damaged, it can lead to serious complications such as stroke, aneurysm, or limb loss.
At VS Hospitals, Chennai, the Department of Vascular Surgery provides advanced medical and surgical treatments for patients with vascular conditions. The hospital’s expert team of vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists work collaboratively to deliver high-precision, minimally invasive care.
With world-class facilities, cutting-edge equipment, and patient-centered management, VS Hospitals ensures effective outcomes whether it’s restoring blood flow, repairing arteries, or managing complex vascular diseases.

Numbness or Weakness in Limbs
A potential sign of blood clots or arterial blockage.
Throbbing Mass in the Abdomen or Legs
May indicate an aneurysm or abnormal dilation of blood vessels.

Risk Factors for Vascular Surgery
Smoking
Smoking is one of the leading causes of bladder cancer. Chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the lining of the bladder, increasing the risk.
Gender
Men are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer than women.
Chronic Bladder Infections or Inflammation
Conditions such as bladder infections and long-term bladder inflammation can increase the risk.
Exposure to Chemicals
Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, especially those used in the dye industry, rubber production, and chemical manufacturing, increases the risk.
Smoking
Damages blood vessel walls, leading to narrowing and blockages.

Diabetes
High blood sugar accelerates arterial damage and atherosclerosis.

High Cholesterol
Causes plaque buildup, restricting blood flow in arteries.

High Blood Pressure
Strains arterial walls, increasing the risk of aneurysm or rupture.

Obesity
Excess body weight adds pressure to veins, leading to varicose veins and thrombosis.

Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of movement contributes to poor circulation and clot formation.

Family History
Genetic predisposition increases the likelihood of vascular diseases.

Age
Risk rises with aging as blood vessels lose elasticity.

Chronic Kidney Disease
Alters blood pressure and fluid balance, increasing vascular stress.

Pregnancy and Hormonal Factors
Can cause vein enlargement and temporary circulatory changes.

Healthy arteries start with a healthy plate. Nutrition plays a crucial role in preventing and managing vascular disease.
- Eat plenty of fiber: Include fruits, vegetables, oats, and whole grains.
- Opt for good fats: Use olive oil, nuts, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Limit salt: Excess sodium raises blood pressure and harms arteries.
- Avoid sugar and refined carbs: These increase triglycerides and weight gain.
- Stay hydrated: Adequate water intake improves circulation.
- Control portion sizes: Overeating leads to obesity and poor vascular health.
- Include iron and B-vitamins: Support blood formation and oxygen delivery.
At VS Hospitals, dieticians collaborate with vascular specialists to design personalized meal plans for recovery and long-term arterial health. Patients undergoing vascular surgery receive specific post-operative nutrition guidelines to enhance healing and prevent recurrence.
Most vascular conditions can be prevented with simple lifestyle changes and routine screenings.
Effective Preventive Strategies:
- Quit smoking: Reduces risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and aneurysms.
- Exercise regularly: At least 30 minutes of walking or cycling daily improves blood flow.
- Maintain healthy weight: Reduces strain on veins and heart.
- Monitor blood pressure and sugar: Regular check-ups at VS Hospitals help detect abnormalities early.
- Manage stress: Meditation and deep breathing lower vascular tension.
- Wear compression stockings: Prevent varicose veins and leg swelling for at-risk patients.
- Stay hydrated and active during travel: Prevents blood clot formation in legs.
- Annual vascular screening: Especially for people with diabetes, hypertension, or family history of vascular disease.
VS Hospitals’ Preventive Vascular Program integrates lifestyle counseling, exercise training, diet planning, and periodic vascular imaging for high-risk individuals.
Accurate diagnosis is critical in vascular surgery since early detection greatly improves treatment success. At VS Hospitals, Chennai, patients benefit from advanced diagnostic imaging and specialized vascular tests performed by experienced professionals.

- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) & Segmental Pressure Studies: Measure blood pressure differences to detect peripheral artery disease.
- CT & MR Angiography: Provide detailed 3D imaging of arteries and veins to identify narrowing or aneurysms.
- Venography & Arteriography: Contrast-based imaging to detect vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and arterial blockages.
