A Brief Summary of Vascular Treatment And Causes
The treatment of vascular system related diseases is known as Vascular treatment. They are mostly addressed by surgical reconstruction, medical therapy, catheter procedures, etc. T Vascular surgery is a very famous method of treatment on a broader spectrum and was pioneered by the interventional radiology techniques.

Those who conduct vascular surgery are trained in diagnosing and managing every disease that affects the vascular system. There is a difference between vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. The latter treat diseases related to heart vessels and the vascular surgeons are responsible for treating extra cranial cerebrovascular diseases.
There are several diseases that can be caused if vascular treatment is not being conducted on time and properly. The most common types of Vascular diseases are:
- Aneurysm
- Buerger’s disease
- Lymphedema
- Disorder of blood clotting
- Raynaud’s phenomenon
- Atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease
Different Types of Vascular Treatment:
There are different types of vascular treatments, but they depend on the severity and type of the disease. Every physician and surgeon has a different approach to treat the disease. These treatments can range from simple lifestyle modifications to endovascular procedures and other different traditional surgical approaches.
The minimally invasive vascular treatments are:
- Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair and done for patients with conditions of aortic dissection and thoracic aortic aneurysm.
- Endovascular aneurysm repair treats the condition of abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Fenestrated Endovascular Aneurysm Repair treats the condition of abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Stenting and Angioplasty treats three types of conditions, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, and vertebrobasilar disease.
- The procedure of cytoplast treats the condition of peripheral arterial disease
- Laser atherectomy or percutaneous treats the conditions of peripheral arterial disease
More than one type of vascular treatment focuses on curing the peripheral arterial disease because it is very common among patients and severe. Other than these minimal treatments, there are other surgical options as well such as:
- Open abdominal aortic surgery is used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortoiliac occlusive diseases.
- Bypass surgery is a very common procedure and treats at least four conditions; renal vascular diseases, vertebrobasilar diseases, mesenteric vascular diseases, and peripheral arterial diseases.
- The open carotid and femoral endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that treats conditions such as; peripheral arterial diseases, vertebrobasilar disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
- Thoracic outlet surgery is used to cure the condition of thoracic outlet syndrome.
Vascular diseases can also be caused due to certain unhealthy lifestyle habits such as physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, high intake of alcohol and smoking. These are certain activities that can increase the chances of high-risk vascular diseases.

There are different ways and lifestyle changes in which vascular diseases can be avoided:
- Quit smoking
- Reduce the intake of alcohol
- Increase physical exercises
- Rest and get enough sleep
- Avoiding food that is very high in salt, sugar, and fat
- Take some time and relieve stress
People can also suffer from vascular diseases because of genetics. There is a high chance that if the parents have traits of vascular problems, then the child might inherit it as well. Getting early check-ups and making a regular appointments with doctors can help in spotting such vascular problems. Getting rid of the problem as early as possible is the best way to live healthily. Some physicians suggest that people suffer this disease mostly because they tend to ignore this disease. This is a problem that should not be taken lightly as it has a chance of becoming severe.
