What Is Vascular Surgery and When Do You Need It?

Vascular surgery treats disorders of arteries and veins that affect circulation, limb function, and long-term tissue health. At DRFK, evaluation covers both venous and arterial causes before treatment selection.

Many patients assume vascular disease always means major surgery. In reality, most modern vein and artery pathways are minimally invasive day-case procedures.

Early diagnosis prevents progression from cosmetic vein concerns to chronic venous insufficiency, ulceration, or arterial complications.

Vascular Conditions We Treat - Complete Guide

Varicose Veins

Valve failure in leg veins causes pooling, pressure, heaviness, and visible rope-like veins. Treatment includes EVLA, RFA, foam sclerotherapy, and selected surgical options when required.

Spider Veins

Thread veins and superficial capillary changes are treated using vascular laser and microsclerotherapy based on vessel pattern and skin profile.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

DVT requires urgent diagnosis with Doppler ultrasound and structured anticoagulation follow-up to reduce embolic and post-thrombotic risk.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

CVI causes persistent swelling, skin changes, and venous ulcer risk. Management combines compression, reflux treatment, and ulcer prevention.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

PAD may cause claudication, rest pain, and non-healing wounds. Endovascular angioplasty and stenting are used when clinically indicated.

Leg Ulcers

Venous leg ulcers heal when the underlying venous pathology is treated, not only the wound surface.

Symptoms That Require Vascular Evaluation in Dubai

These signs require vascular assessment and should not be ignored.

  • Visible enlarged or twisted leg veins with pain or tenderness
  • Leg swelling, heaviness, and fatigue worsening through the day
  • Skin discoloration, itching, burning, or ankle skin hardening
  • Slow-healing ulcers around ankle or lower leg
  • Leg pain on walking relieved by rest (claudication)
  • Cold feet, color change, reduced pulses, or night rest pain
  • Sudden unilateral swelling, pain, and redness - urgent DVT rule-out needed

Causes and Risk Factors for Vascular Disease

Venous disease risk factors

  • Family history

Common Procedures

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

Gold standard day-case treatment for great and small saphenous vein reflux, laser energy applied inside the vein under local anaesthesia, walk out the same day.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Thermal ablation of refluxing saphenous veins using radiofrequency energy, minimally invasive, same recovery profile as EVLA.

Foam Sclerotherapy

Ultrasound-guided injection for medium varicose tributaries, non-surgical, no recovery time.

Microsclerotherapy

Surface injection for spider veins and thread veins, immediate return to activity.

Surface Laser Therapy

Vascular laser for facial veins and broken capillaries, no downtime.

Angioplasty and Stenting

Endovascular artery widening for peripheral artery disease, restores arterial blood flow without open surgery.

Doppler Ultrasound Assessment

In-house gold-standard vascular imaging, maps venous reflux, confirms DVT, and guides all treatment decisions; same-visit reporting by Dr. Vivek Kapoor.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • EVLA / RFA: walk for 30 minutes twice daily in the first week; wear compression stockings 1–2 weeks.
  • Foam sclerotherapy and spider vein injections: immediate return to normal activity.
  • Follow-up Doppler visit typically at 4–6 weeks to confirm closure.
  • Avoid prolonged standing, heavy lifting, and high-impact exercise for 2 weeks after EVLA/RFA.
  • Seek urgent care for sudden leg swelling, chest pain, or breathlessness after any vein procedure.

Expert Tips

1

Bring any previous vascular ultrasound or imaging reports to your first consultation.

2

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment.

3

Compression stockings should be purchased and fitted before your EVLA/RFA appointment.

4

For spider vein treatment: avoid sun exposure and fake tan 2 weeks before and after.
