Services available

Typical conditions that the vascular service will manage include:

• peripheral vascular disease - diseases resulting in poor circulation to the limbs or vital organs, frequently due to atherosclerosis (“furring-up”) of the arteries
• aneurysmal disease - diseases causing localised weaknesses in the walls of arteries resulting in formation of an aneurysm
• stroke prevention - prevention of stroke and mini-stroke, in patients where the arteries supplying the brain have become diseased
• venous disease - treatment of varicose veins and their associated conditions such as venous ulcer.

Vascular consultations will be held in the outpatients department. Specialist investigations, day-care and inpatient treatments are undertaken at the Royal London and St Bartholomew’s Hospitals.
