Vascular Surgery in Kuala Lumpur
Vascular Surgery is a specialised branch within General Surgery, focusing exclusively on the diagnosis and treatment
of disorders affecting the blood vessels.
Vascular system health refers to the health and function of the blood vessels in the body, including arteries and
veins. Healthy blood vessels are crucial for maintaining overall health, as they transport oxygen, nutrients, and
hormones to the body's tissues and organs.
Regular check-ups, healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise and a balanced diet and avoiding tobacco and excessive
alcohol use can help to prevent and manage vascular diseases.
- Atherosclerosis
- Gradual buildup of fatty deposits within the arteries. This leads to the
narrowing
of these blood vessels, making it difficult for blood to flow through them
smoothly.
- Aneurysm
- Bulging or swelling in the wall of an artery. This condition can become
dangerous if
the artery wall weakens to the point of rupture.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
- Blockage of arteries that supply blood to the limbs, typically the legs. This
restricted blood flow can result in symptoms like pain and numbness in the
affected
areas.
- Carotid artery disease
- Narrowing of the arteries responsible for supplying blood to the brain. This
condition heightens the likelihood of experiencing a stroke.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Formation of a blood clot within the deep veins, commonly occurring in the legs.
This condition can lead to symptoms like pain and swelling in the affected leg

blockage can result in breathing difficulties and coughing up blood.
