Vascular surgery and endovascular surgery, both treat vascular disease. Endovascular describes a minimally invasive approach commonly done through needle puncture and a sheath. Traditional vascular surgery is more invasive and involves incisions, which is more surgical in nature.

Peripheral artery bypass, commonly known as blocked artery in leg surgery is done to reroute the blood supply around a blocked artery in one of your legs. Fatty deposits can pile up inside the arteries and block them. A graft is used to replace or bypass the blocked artery.

To reduce the risk of vascular problem:

• Stop smoking or tobacco consumption
• Adapt healthy eating habits
• Exercise regularly
• Keep cholesterol levels under control
• If you are diabetic, control your sugar level
• Reduce stress

The most common vascular conditions are:

• Varicose vein/venous reflux disease
• Aneurysmal disease
• Carotid artery disease
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Diabetic vascular disease
• Hemodialysis access
• Peripheral arterial disease

The ultrasound assists in identifying incompetent veins and when reflux is present. Reflux is when the blood leaks through the damaged valve.

Most patients resume their normal activities immediately. After surgery, patients are suggested to refrain from strenuous activities and lifting heavy weights. As part of the healing process, patients are given a few light exercises to facilitate quick recovery.
