Vessel repair and reconstruction is a surgical procedure that is used to restore the function of damaged blood vessels and help improve blood flow.
This procedure is often used to treat conditions such as aneurysms, blockages, and arterial occlusions.
When a blood vessel is damaged, it can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and even death. In order to prevent these serious complications, it is important to repair the damaged blood vessel as soon as possible. Fortunately, our surgeons have subspecialized training in microvascular techniques, which allows them to repair the damaged blood vessels with minimal risk and maximum success.
The first step in repairing a damaged blood vessel is to identify the source of the damage. This can be done through a variety of imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans. Once the source of the damage is identified, our surgeons can begin the repair process.
The repair process involves the use of specialized instruments and techniques to repair the damaged blood vessel. Depending on the type of damage, our surgeons may use techniques such as angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery. These techniques are designed to restore the function of the damaged blood vessel and help improve blood flow.
In some cases, our surgeons may also use tissue grafts to repair the damaged blood vessel. This involves taking a piece of healthy tissue from another part of the body and using it to replace the damaged tissue. This technique is often used to repair large or complex blood vessel damage.
Once the repair process is complete, our surgeons will monitor the patient closely to ensure that the repaired blood vessel is functioning properly. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help reduce the risk of further damage to the repaired blood vessel.
