Angiology and Vascular Surgery
The Vascular Surgery clinic at CalatafimiMed treats conditions affecting the arteries and veins of every part of the body, whether dilated or narrowed.
Arterial disease can progress silently because it causes no symptoms. A specialist visit and targeted tests can diagnose the problem and change the natural course of the disease which, if neglected, can lead to serious complications such as stroke, ischaemia or bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm.
Conditions and treatments
Today the vascular surgeon is the only specialist able to oversee every type of treatment of arterial and venous disease, both traditional surgery and minimally invasive endovascular procedures.
- Aneurysms
- Diseases of the supra-aortic vessels (narrowing of the carotid, vertebral and subclavian arteries, glomus tumours)
- Splanchnic and peripheral aneurysms
- Narrowing or blockage of the aorta and iliac arteries (Leriche syndrome) and of the leg arteries
- Compression syndromes such as median arcuate ligament syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome and popliteal artery entrapment
Services and organisation
As day hospital and day surgery procedures, the team treats venous insufficiency and varicose veins of the legs: saphenous vein stripping, varicose vein removal through mini-incisions and cosmetic treatments with sclerotherapy and radiofrequency. An operating theatre for emergencies is available every day. Organisation by intensity of care guarantees that beds are immediately available.
At the clinics we provide standard and advanced wound dressings, angiology and vascular surgery visits, non-invasive tests and colour Doppler ultrasound for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients who have already had surgery.
Services
First vascular surgery visit
The first vascular surgery visit is a specialist appointment to assess the condition of the patient’s veins and arteries.
During the visit the vascular surgeon takes a full medical history, assesses symptoms such as swelling, pain in the limbs, tingling or ulcers, and may carry out a targeted physical examination.
Depending on the findings, the doctor may prescribe further diagnostic tests (Doppler ultrasound, angiography or laboratory tests) to reach an accurate diagnosis and plan the most appropriate treatment. How much does the visit cost? The visit costs €60 and takes place at CalatafimiMed 1, Corso Calatafimi 390, Palermo
Vascular surgery follow-up visit
The vascular surgery follow-up visit is a specialist appointment to monitor the condition of the veins and arteries after a diagnosis, treatment or surgery.
During the visit the surgeon assesses how the condition is progressing, checks the response to treatment or surgery, and may prescribe further diagnostic tests if needed.
The aim is constant monitoring, to prevent complications and optimise the patient’s treatment. How much does the visit cost? The visit costs €50 and takes place at CalatafimiMed 1, Corso Calatafimi 390, Palermo
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose and spider veins.
A sclerosing substance is injected directly into the affected vein, causing the vein to close and then be reabsorbed by the body.
It is a quick, safe outpatient procedure that improves the appearance of the legs and reduces symptoms such as swelling, pain or heaviness, supporting healthy venous circulation. How much does it cost? The treatment costs €70 and takes place at CalatafimiMed 1, Corso Calatafimi 390, Palermo
