Conditions we treat

Our specialists assess and treat the full range of conditions affecting the arteries, veins and lymphatic system. Each page explains the condition, its symptoms, how it is diagnosed and the treatment options available.

Arterial conditions

Conditions affecting the arteries that carry blood away from the heart.

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when the arteries supplying the legs become narrowed or blocked.

Abdominal & Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the body.

Carotid Artery Disease

Carotid artery disease occurs when plaque narrows one or both carotid arteries in the neck.

Stroke & Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) Warning Signs

A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or when a blood vessel within the brain ruptures.

Peripheral Aneurysms

A peripheral aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of an artery outside the aorta.

Acute Limb Ischaemia

Acute limb ischaemia is a sudden and severe reduction in blood flow to an arm or leg.

Arterial & Aortic Dissection

An arterial dissection occurs when a tear develops in the inner layer of an artery and blood tracks between the layers of the vessel wall.

Mesenteric Artery Disease & Mesenteric Ischaemia

The mesenteric arteries supply blood to the stomach and intestines.

Renal Artery Disease & Renal Artery Stenosis

Renal artery stenosis is narrowing of an artery supplying a kidney.

Venous conditions

Conditions of the veins returning blood to the heart, from varicose veins to deep venous disease.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually develop in the legs.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are small red, blue or purple vessels visible just beneath the skin, most often on the legs.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency develops when the leg veins cannot return blood efficiently to the heart because of faulty valves, previous deep vein thrombosis, venous obstruction or a combination of these.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, most often in the leg or pelvis.

Deep Venous Disease

Deep venous disease covers obstruction or compression of the major veins of the pelvis and abdomen, which limits blood returning from the legs or pelvic organs.

Complex vascular & limb conditions

Wounds, diabetic foot disease and less common vascular problems that need coordinated care.

Diabetic Foot & Limb Salvage

Diabetes can damage nerves, impair immunity and reduce circulation to the feet, so a small blister, pressure area or cut may become infected or fail to heal.

Non-Healing Wounds & Ulcers

A wound is considered non-healing when it fails to progress through the normal stages of repair.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) describes compression of nerves or blood vessels as they pass between the neck, first rib and upper chest into the arm.

Vascular Malformations

Vascular malformations are abnormal collections or connections of blood vessels present from birth, although they may only become noticeable later in life.
