Vascular Surgery
Maintaining healthy circulation through advanced arterial and venous interventions.
Specialized Vascular Interventions
Vascular surgery addresses complex conditions within the body’s vast network of blood vessels. Dr. Chintan Mehta offers specialized surgical management for arterial, venous, and lymphatic disorders. At Wockhardt Hospital, our goal is to restore optimal hemodynamics and prevent severe outcomes such as abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), stroke, or limb ischemia.
Vascular Health Indicators
Vascular issues often manifest as circulatory problems. You may need surgery if you have:
- Persistent leg pain or cramping while walking
- Non-healing wounds or ulcers on feet
- Pulsating sensation in the abdomen
- Coldness or numbness in extremities
Surgical Approach
Dr. Mehta utilizes a "Hybrid" approach, combining traditional open vascular surgery with modern Endovascular techniques. This includes the use of balloons and stents to open blocked vessels via small needle punctures, as well as complex bypass surgeries for peripheral artery disease.
Specialized Interventions
Aneurysm Repair
Treating life-threatening bulges in the aorta (AAA) or other major vessels.
Carotid Surgery
Clearing blockages in the neck arteries to prevent major strokes.
Venous Care
Expert treatment for severe varicose veins and chronic vein blockages.
Recovery & Follow-up
For endovascular patients, recovery can be as quick as 24-48 hours. Major vascular bypass surgeries may require several days in the hospital. Success depends on lifestyle adjustments, including smoking cessation and blood pressure management. Dr. Mehta provides strict follow-up protocols to monitor vessel patency over time.
Vascular Expertise
Dr. Mehta is recognized for his skill in "limb salvage" procedures, saving limbs in patients with advanced diabetic vascular disease who were previously told amputation was the only option.
