Whilst vascular surgery has no specific subspecialties, some vascular surgeons will have areas of interest and expertise. Endovascular surgery, for example, uses minimally-invasive surgical approaches to treat vascular disease, and some vascular surgeons will use endovascular techniques. Other vascular surgeons may have a focus on aneurysms, stroke, arterial diseases of the leg, vascular diseases of the leg, or conditions such as lymphoedema.
You should see a vascular surgeon if you have been warned by other doctors of your vascular health (e.g. if you are overweight and a smoker). You may also see a vascular surgeon following a stroke, or if you have a leg wound near a vein that refuses to heal (i.e. leg ulcer). If you have varicose veins that are causing discomfort, you may also be referred to a vascular surgeon. Hence, if you see your GP, they may refer you to a vascular surgeon if they suspect any problems with your arterial, venous or lymphatic systems.
