Vascular surgery provides treatment of conditions affecting arteries, veins and lymphatics throughout the body.
We are an internationally recognised centre for vascular surgery and the only centre in the UK currently providing endo-robotic surgery for aortic, carotid and peripheral vascular interventions.
We are also the only centre in London and the South of England to provide open thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair using techniques such as left heart bypass and full motor and sensory spinal monitoring.
Conditions and treatments
- Aortic aneurysms (thoracic, thoracoabdominal and abdominal)
- Acute and chronic aortic dissections
- Carotid disease and stroke prevention
- Carotid body tumours
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Leg ulcers
- Upper limb vascular disease
- Mesenteric and renovascular disease
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Diabetic foot disease
- Arteriovenous malformations
- Sports vascular injuries
- Vascular trauma
- Vascular graft infections
- Venous disease (superficial and deep)
The hospital has a 24-hour regional service for vascular emergencies and a 24-hour national service for complex aortic vascular disease.
