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.

Treatment Procedures

Medical History Consultation
In our detailed medical history consultation, we take the time to record your symptoms and medical background. This allows us to develop a comprehensive understanding of your situation and offer tailored treatment options.
Physical Examination
As part of the physical examination, we perform a thorough assessment of your blood vessels using ultrasound and other diagnostic technologies. These examinations provide precise information about the condition of your vessels and help identify any abnormalities.
Further Diagnostic Evaluation
If necessary, we supplement our examinations with advanced diagnostics such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These state-of-the-art imaging techniques provide detailed information about the vascular structure and help us make an accurate diagnosis.
Proposed Treatment Options
Based on the examination results and diagnosis, we provide you with individualized treatment recommendations. Depending on your condition, we may suggest either outpatient or inpatient therapies. For inpatient treatments, we work closely with renowned treatment centers and senior physicians to ensure you receive the highest quality care.
