Vascular medicine is a medical specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the blood vessels—arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Vascular specialists address a wide range of issues, from peripheral artery disease (PAD) and varicose veins to life-threatening conditions like aneurysms and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). With the help of advanced diagnostic tools, including ultrasound imaging, CT angiography, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), vascular physicians can accurately detect and monitor blood flow abnormalities and vessel blockages.

Treatment approaches in vascular medicine range from conservative methods, such as lifestyle modification and medication, to minimally invasive procedures like endovascular stenting and catheter-based interventions. Vascular surgeons may also perform open surgical repairs when necessary, ensuring that patients receive the most effective care for their specific condition. The primary goal of vascular medicine is to restore proper circulation, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of serious complications like strokes, heart attacks, or limb loss. By addressing vascular health at its source, this field helps patients achieve better mobility, reduced pain, and overall improved quality of life.
