Irfan Siddiqui - Effective Vascular Surgery Treatments


Vascular surgery is a subspecialty surgery. In this, diseases of the vascular system are managed by medical therapy and invasive catheter procedures. Its treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. It can be treated by lifestyle modification, medications and the latest catheter-based endovascular procedures besides treating with traditional surgical interventions. One of the best cardiologists such as Irfan Siddiqui advocates the idea of adopting good health habits such as quitting smoking and regular exercising to deal with it.


These treatments have been explained below:


Lifestyle Modification:

Changing lifestyle and adopting good habits are one of the effective and helpful ways to deal with diseases of the vascular system. This may seem simple but it may be a bit difficult for the patient to stop smoking but its results are surely appreciable. It has been found by various organizations after conducting researches that smoking affects adversely to the health of a person and this also leads to the diseases of the vascular system. “The good health habits such as regular exercising, eating a low-cholesterol diet and having control over diabetes can cure this disease to a certain extent”, says Siddiqui.

Medication:

It helps to manage cholesterol and platelet functions in some vascular disease patients.

Angioplasty and Stenting:

Angioplasty is a procedure in which a catheter-guided balloon is used in the opening of a narrowed artery whereas a stent is a wire-mesh tube that expands to hold the artery open. It is usually placed at the narrowed part during angioplasty. This treatment is used for Cerebrovascular, Vertebrobasilar and Peripheral Arterial Disease.


Cryoplasty:

This is the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease and is similar to angioplasty. This treatment is done by inserting a balloon catheter into a blocked artery to repair the obstruction within the vessel. Once reaching the site of the blockage by the balloon catheter, it gets filled with liquid nitrous oxide, which gets immediately evaporated into a gas that further causes the balloon to inflate and freeze the surrounding which results in the opening of the artery. This treatment minimizes the chances of the growth of new scar tissue. Cryoplasty also has the potential to reduce the chances of the blockage reoccurring in the treated location.

Open Abdominal Aortic Surgery:

For many vascular patients, surgery may be the best medical option. This surgery involves the incision of abdominal to reach to the abdominal aorta.


Bypass Surgery:

This procedure involves the redirecting of blood flow around an area of blockage. This works on the premise of creating an alternate channel for blood flow, bypassing a damaged vessel.

Conclusion: 

Vascular surgery is a subspecialty surgery. This involves making use of medical therapy and invasive catheter procedures to treat the diseases of the vascular system. It can be treated by lifestyle modification, medication, angioplasty and stenting, cryoplasty, open abdominal aortic surgery, bypass surgery. One of the best cardiologists such as Irfan Siddiqui advocates the idea of adopting good health habits such as quitting smoking and regular exercising to treat it.
