Vascular Medicine for Diseases of the Arteries
Terms such as “circulatory disorders” and “intermittent claudication” are commonly used to describe reduced blood flow to organs. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the brain, internal organs, and the arms and legs.
Circulatory disturbances can be distinguished from other conditions through a qualified examination by a vascular surgeon. In addition to possible arterial narrowing, arterial dilatations—such as enlargement of the body’s main artery (aorta)—can also be dangerous.
Comprehensive vascular surgical diagnostics provide clarity regarding the presence of disease and its potential risks.
Therapy
Treatment of circulatory disorders using conservative, pharmacological, minimally invasive (catheter and stent-based), and surgical therapies for the arteries of the arms and legs, the brain-supplying arteries, and the arteries of the internal organs.
This includes the treatment of narrowed vessels (stenosis), dilated vessels (aneurysm), and rare vascular diseases such as vasculitis, malformations, and Raynaud’s syndrome.
Each patient is personally referred to renowned regional specialists for specific therapies when indicated. In the best interest of the patient, treatment options are selected based on the highest scientific standards and proven medical evidence.
