General Vascular Surgery Consultation in Leicester

General vascular surgery deals with finding and treating problems in the blood vessels, like arteries and veins. Surgeons in this area do operations to fix things like bulging blood vessels, blocked arteries, and swollen veins. They use both traditional surgery and smaller, less invasive methods. Their skills are important for handling issues with blood flow, making sure blood moves correctly, and stopping problems that can come from blood vessel diseases. By combining surgery and taking care of patients, general vascular surgeons help improve the health of blood vessels.


The vascular system is made up of blood vessels and lymph vessels that carry blood & lymph fluid through the body. The blood vessels get inflamed because of health conditions, infections or unknown factors. Blood vessels are damaged by several conditions such as changes in blood pressure, buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances in the blood that narrow arteries. Blood vessels are important because they deliver oxygen and nutrients to different organs and tissues and remove the waste products from our body. So that any problems affecting the vascular system will be life-threatening.

The vascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is a complex network of blood vessels that transport blood, nutrients, oxygen, and waste throughout the body. It includes arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the tissues, while veins bring oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, help exchange oxygen, nutrients, and waste between the blood and tissues. The heart acts as the main pump to keep blood flowing, ensuring that cells get the essential materials they need for energy and that waste is removed efficiently. This system is vital for maintaining balance in the body and supporting overall function.

Vascular Disease covers a broad range of conditions involving the arteries and veins in the body. These control blood flow throughout the body, providing oxygen and energy to the cells and removing waste products.


Venous disease can be the cause of:

  • Varicose veins: which can be seen as swollen vessels usually on the lower legs, are more common as patients get older. These can present with soreness, eczema, itching, skin discolouration or even, in severe cases, ulceration
  • Venous disease without varicose veins: can cause similar problems to varicose veins such as skin discolouration, eczema and ulcers in addition to impairing drainage of tissues resulting in leg swelling and poorly healing skin.
  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD): a form of cardiovascular disease. It can present with leg pain (particularly on walking – intermittent claudication), night cramps, discoloured feet or hands, and even leg ulcers. If you suffer from PAD, your hands and feet may be cool or cold all the time, especially in times of cold weather.
  • Carotid artery disease: 2 of the major blood vessels in the brain may have worsening atherosclerosis (plaque build up in the blood vessels) which narrows the blood vessels reducing flow and can fracture, sending small emboli to the brain, which can cause strokes, mini-strokes (TIAs) or visual loss (amaurosis).
  • Aneurysm disease: this refers to any swelling of a blood vessel. Aneurysms often do not cause symptoms and may need specialist investigations to be detected. Aneurysms can occur in large blood vessels, such as the aorta, which supplies blood to the body from the heart or small blood vessels, such as in the arms or legs.
