Vascular surgery is a highly specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the blood vessels—arteries and veins—through medical, minimally invasive, and surgical techniques. Whether you’re dealing with varicose veins, diabetic foot, peripheral artery disease, or aneurysms, choosing the right vascular surgeon is a decision that can profoundly impact your outcome and recovery.

As a UK-trained consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon based in Dubai, I believe patients deserve clarity, safety, and confidence when navigating their vascular health journey.

What Is Vascular Surgery?


Vascular surgery involves the treatment of diseases of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems, excluding those involving the heart and brain. It covers a wide range of conditions, from life-threatening arterial blockages to cosmetic vein disorders.

Some of the most common vascular conditions include:

  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

  • Aneurysms (abdominal and peripheral)

  • Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

  • Diabetic foot complications

  • Carotid artery disease

  • Venous ulcers and lymphedema


At vascular-surgeon.ae, I’ve created a trusted resource for both patients in Dubai and those visiting internationally, offering comprehensive care across all major vascular conditions using the latest diagnostic tools and advanced treatment options.


Who Needs a Vascular Surgeon?


You may be referred to a vascular surgeon if you experience symptoms like:

  • Leg pain while walking (claudication)

  • Swollen or discolored legs

  • Non-healing wounds on feet or legs

  • Visible varicose veins

  • Sudden coldness or numbness in a limb

My job is not only to treat visible symptoms but also to prevent complications like limb loss, stroke, or life-threatening bleeding from aneurysms.

How to Choose the Right Vascular Surgeon in Dubai


When searching for a vascular surgeon, here are critical factors to consider:


1. Credentials and Subspecialty Training

Look for a board-certified vascular surgeon with fellowship training and a track record of successful interventions in both open and endovascular surgery.


2. Diagnostic Capabilities

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Your surgeon should offer Doppler ultrasound, ABI testing, and angiography, depending on your condition.


3. Range of Services

The best vascular surgeons provide comprehensive care—from conservative management to advanced surgery—including:

  • Angioplasty and stenting

  • Bypass grafting

  • Laser and radiofrequency ablation

  • Sclerotherapy and ClariVein®

  • Carotid surgery

  • Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)


4. Communication and Follow-Up

Clear explanations, transparent planning, and timely follow-up matter as much as technical skill.

FAQs

Q1: Is vascular surgery always surgical?

No. Many vascular conditions can be treated with non-surgical or minimally invasive techniques, such as angioplasty, laser ablation, or sclerotherapy.


Q2: Do I need a referral to see a vascular surgeon in Dubai?

Not necessarily. You can book directly if you're experiencing symptoms like leg swelling, varicose veins, or diabetic foot wounds.


Q3: How do I know if my leg pain is vascular?

If the pain worsens with walking and improves with rest, or if you have wounds that heal slowly, it may be due to poor circulation. A thorough examination and non-invasciave assessments such as ankle-brachial index measurement and Doppler ultrasound can confirm this.

Q4: Are spider veins a vascular issue?

Yes, they can indicate early venous insufficiency. While often cosmetic, they should still be evaluated to rule out deeper vein problems.
