Overview - Vascular Surgery Clinic in Dubai

Types of Vascular Disorders We Treat

Vascular disorders can affect any part of the circulatory system. Our specialists at Emirates Hospital provide diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

1. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

A common condition where plaque builds up in the arteries supplying the legs, leading to poor blood flow, pain while walking, and, in severe cases, non-healing wounds or gangrene.

2. Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

Enlarged, twisted veins caused by weakened valves that prevent blood from flowing efficiently. These can cause leg swelling, heaviness, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns.

3. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

A blood clot forming in the deep veins, usually in the legs. If untreated, it can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening.

4. Aneurysms

A bulging or weakening in the wall of an artery, most commonly in the aorta. If ruptured, it can cause severe internal bleeding and requires urgent medical attention.

5. Carotid Artery Disease

Narrowing of the carotid arteries (which supply blood to the brain) due to plaque buildup, increasing the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).

6. Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

A long-term condition where blood pools in the veins of the legs, causing swelling, skin discoloration, and ulcers.

7. Diabetic Vascular Disease

Patients with diabetes often develop poor circulation, especially in the legs and feet, leading to delayed wound healing and risk of infection or amputation.

8. Vascular Malformations and Lymphedema

Abnormal development of blood or lymphatic vessels, which can cause swelling, discomfort, and pain.

Common Causes of Vascular Disorders

Vascular diseases often develop gradually and can be influenced by a combination of lifestyle, medical, and genetic factors. Common causes include:

• Atherosclerosis (artery hardening) – buildup of fatty deposits in the blood vessels

• High blood pressure (hypertension)

• Diabetes mellitus – damaging small and large blood vessels over time

• Smoking – a major risk factor for arterial narrowing and aneurysms

• High cholesterol – leading to plaque formation

• Obesity and sedentary lifestyle – reducing circulation efficiency

• Genetic predisposition or family history

• Blood clotting disorders

• Aging – natural wear on blood vessels reducing elasticity

At Emirates Hospital, we focus on identifying these underlying causes through thorough assessment and targeted management — not just treating the symptoms but addressing the root of the problem.

Common Symptoms of Vascular Disorders

Vascular problems may not always present obvious symptoms, especially in early stages. However, recognizing warning signs can help prevent serious complications.

Symptoms of Arterial Disorders

• Leg pain or cramping when walking (claudication)

• Coldness or numbness in legs or feet

• Pale, bluish, or shiny skin on legs

• Non-healing wounds or ulcers on lower limbs

• Weak or absent pulses in the legs

Symptoms of Venous Disorders

• Swollen, heavy, or aching legs

• Visible varicose or spider veins

• Skin discoloration (darkening or thickening near ankles)

• Itching, burning, or tingling sensations

• Leg ulcers or sores that heal slowly

Symptoms of Carotid Artery Disease

• Dizziness or fainting

• Sudden weakness or numbness (especially on one side)

• Blurred vision or slurred speech

• Temporary loss of vision in one eye

If you experience any of these symptoms, prompt consultation with a vascular surgeon is vital for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Treatment Options at Emirates Hospital

At Emirates Hospital, we offer a complete range of surgical and non-surgical treatments for vascular disorders, tailored to each patient’s condition and overall health.

1. Medical Management and Lifestyle Changes

For early-stage vascular conditions, conservative treatment may include:

• Medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar

• Antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy to prevent clot formation

• Weight management and smoking cessation programs

• Supervised exercise therapy to improve circulation

2. Minimally Invasive Endovascular Procedures

Our vascular surgeons specialize in advanced endovascular (catheter-based) techniques that allow for faster recovery and reduced hospital stay, such as:

• Angioplasty and Stenting: To open narrowed arteries using tiny balloons and mesh stents.

• Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation (EVLA/RFA): To treat varicose veins without surgery.

• Thrombectomy or Thrombolysis: To remove or dissolve blood clots.

• Embolization Procedures: To stop abnormal bleeding or block off diseased vessels.

3. Surgical Procedures

For complex cases or when minimally invasive options are not suitable:

• Bypass Surgery: Creating an alternate pathway for blood flow using a graft.

• Carotid Endarterectomy: Removing plaque from carotid arteries to prevent stroke.

• Aneurysm Repair (Open or Endovascular): Reinforcing weakened artery walls.

• Varicose Vein Ligation and Stripping: Surgical removal of damaged veins.
