Best Vascular Surgery Doctors in India

Specialists who have undergone training to treat diseases associated with the vascular system are categorized as vascular surgeons. Few specialists hold specialization and years of experience in either one or two kinds of vascular surgical interventions. They have profound training in all the fields of vascular surgery, from open, minimally-invasive procedure to endovascular procedures.

Apart from offering treatments, a vascular surgeon pays additional care to patients by building robust relationships with them. They don't treat patients; they heal them.

1.     How do I know who is the right doctor for me? Is the doctor board certified? In what field? – “How do I study a doctor’s profile”?

Finding the right doctor or surgeon is crucial as there are no hopeless patients, there are only bad doctors. Ergo, one must probe into the credentials of a doctor or surgeon prior to choosing one.

First and foremost, research whether the doctor has the necessary education and specialization or not.

Apart from having degrees such as MBBS, MS, MCh and more, a good vascular surgeon in India have finished fellowship programs from universities of International stature. Also, the doctor should have prior certification from the Medical Council of India (MCI).

After considering the educational details, laying appropriate emphasis on the experience of the surgeon is absolutely essential. Choosing an experienced is a wise decision to make as he or she will be able to deal with even the most complicated patient cases ever.

However, gauging a surgeon entirely on his experience is not fair. Hence, there is need to pay heed to the performance rate of the surgeon; how many successful surgeries he or she has managed to pull off? How well he or she handled the patient as well as the family members? How compassionate was he or she?

To know such intricate details, one needs to go through the patient testimonies and reviews or contact them personally. The feedback given by the previously treated patients will help one assess the quality of the doctor from a convex perspective, and the decision of choosing a particular health professional will not just depend on the word of mouth recommendations.

3.     What are the special interests/procedures that some of these doctors are performing?

Vascular surgeon in India has the expertise and years of experience in treating patients with vascular disorders through various type of procedures that may include bypass procedure, AV shunt, carotid endarterectomy, angioplasty, and minimally-invasive endovascular surgery.

Bypass procedure: Vascular bypass or graft involves a procedure wherein the surgeon performs surgery to redirect blood flow from one particular region to another; this is done by reconnecting the blood vessels. Impaired arteries of the patient are bypassed to restore proper blood flow.

AV Shunt: AV shunt is a surgical link created between the artery and vein to allow the blood to flow from the artery directly into the vein. As a result, the blood pressure and amount of blood flow increase through the vein. Due to the amplified flow and pressure, veins enlarge. These inflamed veins will be able to regulate the blood flow necessary to perform a hemodialysis treatment on the patient. This type of treatment is preferred for people who are going for a dialysis session.

Carotid Endarterectomy: This procedure helps in eliminating the clogged arteries in the neck to ensure proper blood flow and angioplasty wherein the obstructed arteries inflated.

Minimally-Invasive Endovascular Surgery: Along with that, surgeons can perform an endovascular surgery using a minimally invasive approach. This treatment technique has various advantages over others that include shorter hospital stay and recovery period,  scarring, less pain, and lower mortality rates.

Along with the procedures mentioned above, a vascular surgeon can also suggest preventative measures to the concerned patient and suggest the patient switch to a healthy lifestyle to correct the discrepancies.

After choosing a vascular surgeon, our professionals will book an appointment. Also, we will arrange a video consultation of the patient with the chosen doctor, which will help the patient to discuss problems, concerns and treatment plan in detail.

5. What happens during a typical vascular surgeon consult?

•    Smoking

•    High blood pressure

•    Diabetes

•    High cholesterol

•    A family history of vascular disease

After a thorough analysis of the symptoms and risk factors, the surgeon will examine the blood vessels of the patient. He or she will detect the pulse and check the blood pressure of the patient to look for the evidence of vascular disease. Screening procedures such as Angiography, Ultrasound and Ankle brachial indices will be used, and finally, the treatment plan will be created.
