Vascular Surgery

Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to every part of the body, and when they narrow, weaken, or swell, everyday comfort can suffer. A calf that cramps after a short walk, a foot wound that will not heal, legs that swell and ache by evening, or sudden weakness on one side of the body can all trace back to a blood vessel problem. The Department of Vascular Surgery at Apex Group of Hospitals diagnoses and treats diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels across our units in Borivali, Kandivali and Mulund.

A vascular surgeon in Mumbai at Apex begins with your symptoms, a check of pulses and circulation and, where needed, an ultrasound Doppler or scan of the vessels. Patients searching for a vascular specialist in Mumbai may be referred by a family doctor, a diabetologist or a cardiologist, or may come on their own with leg pain, swelling or a slow-healing wound. Many conditions are managed first with medicines, compression and lifestyle changes, and procedures are advised only when they are needed.

As a vascular surgery hospital in Mumbai, Apex looks at treatment as a plan matched to the problem and to the patient's overall health. Vascular care today includes open surgery and catheter-based (endovascular) treatment through small punctures. Early assessment matters, because blocked arteries and untreated vein disease tend to worsen quietly.

Conditions We Treat

The Vascular Surgery Department at Apex manages diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels, from a swollen leg to a limb at risk. Each patient is assessed individually before any procedure is advised.

Conditions the department manages include:

• Peripheral artery disease: Narrowed leg arteries cause cramping on walking, cold feet and slow-healing wounds. Patients seeking peripheral vascular disease treatment in Mumbai are assessed for medicines, angioplasty or bypass.
• Varicose veins and venous disease: Bulging, aching, swollen legs and darkened skin, sometimes with ulcers. Those looking for varicose vein treatment in Mumbai are advised on compression, laser or other vein procedures.
• Diabetic foot problems: Numbness, ulcers, infection and poor circulation in the foot. Diabetic foot treatment in Mumbai at Apex aims to heal the wound and protect the limb.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): A clot in a leg vein causes swelling, pain and warmth and needs prompt treatment so that it does not travel to the lungs.
• Aortic aneurysm: A weakened, bulging part of the body's main artery, often silent until it grows large.
• Carotid artery disease: Narrowing in the neck arteries raises stroke risk, with warning signs such as brief weakness, slurred speech or vision loss.
• Limb-threatening ischaemia and gangrene: Severe rest pain, black skin or wounds that will not heal need urgent assessment.
• Dialysis access: AV fistula creation for patients with kidney failure.

During a consultation, the doctor checks pulses, skin colour and temperature, and any wounds, and may order a Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography or blood tests. Many patients start with medicines, compression, exercise and better control of diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol. Surgery or catheter treatment is advised only when tests show it will help.
