The Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Unit deals with disorders of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, carotid arteries, and peripheral and visceral arteries using the most advanced surgical, endovascular and hybrid (surgical + endovascular) techniques. It also deals with venous disorders such as varicose veins and thrombosis.

With regards to clinical evaluation, as a potential carrier of vascular disorders involving numerous districts, especially the heart, the patient undergoes a particularly comprehensive cardiovascular assessment.

The pathologies treated are thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections, congenital abnormalities of the thoracic aorta, disorders of the iliac arteries, visceral vessels diseases (renal arteries, splenic artery, superior mesenteric artery and coeliac trunk), carotid stenoses, peripheral vessel diseases and varicose veins.

We also manage the "vascular foot": a pathology characterised by ulcers of different extension and depth secondary to vascular insufficiency.

The vascular foot is managed with surgical or interventional revascularization followed by ulcer treatment with ultrasound and apposition of synthetic dermis or skin grafting.
This condition occurs more frequently in diabetic patients which is why we collaborate with a diabetologist for the most comprehensive assessment of the patient.

Together with the Cardiovascular Surgery Unit, prosthetic aortic valves are positioned via a percutaneous access, an innovative method carried out in a multifunctional operating theatre.
