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.
