A vascular surgery involves the treatment of the blood vessels in our body.
The main type of problem that is faced, for which vascular surgery is recommended, is the blockage in the arteries that carry blood to the different parts of our body. Aortic aneurysm is also a condition in which blood is not taken properly to the different parts of the body by the aortic arteries.
People who smoke can be affected by these problems and the vascular surgeon would recommend the patient to stop smoking if they want to have a better chance to recover from these problems. Stopping smoking may also help in speedy recovery after a vascular surgery.
DVT, Thrombophlebitis, and Varicose veins are some of the other problems that are vascular in nature. These conditions have vascular surgery intervention as well.
