Being a passenger of the advanced era, where technology almost changes every field of life, we can see tremendous upgrading in medical fields, advance level deep searches open the new door in medical to solve the mysteries and foil all the hindrances to acquire the healthy life. With the passage of time, new pathways are discovered to study, specialization in Endovascular Surgery is one of them.

What Is Vascular Surgery?

Vascular surgery is a surgical sub-specialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. The specialty evolved from general and cardiac surgery and includes treatment of the body’s other major and essential veins and arteries. Open surgery techniques, as well as endovascular techniques, are used to treat vascular diseases. The vascular surgeon is trained in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting all parts of the vascular system excluding the coronaries and intracranial vasculature.

Initially, the study was only limited to coronary vessels but then expend to non-cardiac vessels as well. All the innovations about vessel surgery have been taken place in the USA, Europe, and Japan. The leading search and study centers for endovascular surgery are located in tertiary care State University hospital of USA.

In 2006, when Dr. Imran Javed was working as Senior registrar Cardiac Surgery at Jinnah Hospital Lahore, came to know about the new specialization field, so he decided to opt for it as a future.

Dr. Imran Javed contacted Arizona Heart Institue, Phonix, USA. In 2009, he got permission to enroll in the one-year advanced training program.

” Under the supervision of Dr. Edward and 6 members medical team of cardiac and vascular surgeon I started my pathway. During the first 3 months, I deeply understand the peripheral vascular interventions and later study about Abdominal and Thoracic Aorta interventions. last but not least portion consists of Carotid artery interventions and Mesenteric vessels” Dr. Imram Javed said:

Vascular surgeons are specialists who are highly trained to treat diseases of the vascular system. Your blood vessels –arteries carrying oxygen-rich blood and veins carrying blood back to the heart — are the roadways of your circulatory system. Without smoothly flowing blood, your body cannot function. Conditions such as the hardening of the arteries can create “traffic jams” in your circulatory system, obstructing the flow of blood to any part of the body.

Avascular surgeon does far more than surgery. The avascular surgeon makes sure patients with vascular health issues know and understand all their options. In short, vascular surgeons can do surgery, but they see and treat many patients who don’t require surgery. Many vascular problems can be treated with medication or exercise. As Dr. Imran Javed explained – “I spend 80 percent of my time trying to talk my patients out of having surgery.”

Endovascular therapy is a well-established treatment modality for a variety of cerebrovascular central nervous system disorders. The past few decades have witnessed dramatic improvements in the field of neuroendovascular surgery. These techniques are now used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, vascular malformations, carotid stenoses, intracranial vascular stenoses, and acute ischemic stroke.

Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or “ballooning” of the blood vessel.

Dr. Imran Javed is the first physician who acquired this level of international training. ” I utilized this opportunity to discuss CPSP training with a fellow at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona.” He added.

Vascular surgeons manage veins and arteries in every part of the body except the brain and the heart. For example, vascular surgeons handle blocked carotid arteries in the neck. They treat the problems of the aorta (a large main artery) after it leaves the heart and enters the abdomen. Peripheral vascular disease, which often affects the arteries in the legs and feet, also is treated by a vascular surgeon.

How do You know You need to see a vascular surgeon?

Typically, patients are referred to a vascular surgeon by their primary care physician. Sometimes patients become acquainted with a vascular surgeon after an unexpected event lands them in the hospital. You might be referred to a vascular surgeon if you see your regular doctor for pain in your legs, and learn that you have peripheral arterial disease, for example. If you are in a high-risk category: are a smoker, diabetic, and/or have high blood pressure, you may be a candidate for starting a relationship with a vascular surgeon.
