Most people associate vascular problems with older age, but the arterial disease that produces claudication, carotid plaques, and aortic aneurysms begins accumulating decades before it produces symptoms. The venous disease that causes varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and leg ulcers affects people of working age at rates that most patients never expect when they first notice their legs are not what they were. And in a community like Electronic City, where working hours are long, physical activity is often limited, and the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension continues to rise, the conditions that vascular surgeons treat are becoming more common and presenting at younger ages.
The Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City provides specialist assessment and treatment for arterial, venous, and lymphatic conditions, for patients across Electronic City, Hosur Road, Sarjapur Road, Anekal, and South Bengaluru.
What the Department Provides
Vascular surgery Electronic City Bengaluru encompasses both traditional open surgical approaches and the full range of minimally invasive endovascular techniques that have become the preferred approach for many vascular conditions. The choice between open and endovascular treatment is made individually, based on the anatomy of the disease, the patient's fitness for surgery, and the evidence for which approach produces the best long-term result in the specific clinical situation.
Arterial Disease
The arterial conditions managed by our team range from peripheral artery disease affecting the legs through to aortic and carotid disease with their implications for the abdominal organs and the brain respectively.
Peripheral vascular disease, narrowing of the arteries of the legs and feet caused by atherosclerosis, is one of the most undertreated conditions in vascular medicine. Many patients with claudication, the leg pain that comes on with walking and relieves with rest, accept it as a normal consequence of ageing or attribute it to muscle problems without ever seeking a vascular opinion. Left untreated, peripheral vascular disease progresses. The walking distance shortens. Rest pain develops. Wounds stop healing. In the worst cases, amputation becomes necessary.
Our team assesses peripheral vascular disease South Bengaluru with duplex ultrasound and ankle-brachial index measurement, followed by CT angiography when the anatomy needs to be mapped for intervention. Treatment follows a structured pathway beginning with cardiovascular risk factor management and supervised exercise, progressing to endovascular intervention including balloon angioplasty and stenting for suitable lesions, and to bypass surgery when the disease pattern is not amenable to endovascular treatment.
Carotid artery stenosis, narrowing of the arteries supplying the brain, is managed to prevent stroke. Patients with a transient ischaemic attack or a minor stroke and are found to have significant carotid stenosis benefit from carotid endarterectomy, where the plaque is surgically removed from the artery, or carotid artery stenting, where a stent is deployed across the stenosis through a catheter. Our team advises on which approach is more appropriate based on the patient's individual risk profile and the anatomy of the lesion.
Aortic disease, including abdominal aortic aneurysm, where the main abdominal artery dilates to dangerous dimensions, is managed with endovascular aortic repair using stent grafts in the majority of suitable patients, avoiding the need for a major open abdominal operation. Surveillance of smaller aneurysms is managed with regular imaging until the size threshold for repair is reached.
Acute vascular emergencies including acute limb ischaemia and ruptured aneurysm require immediate intervention, and our team is available around the clock for the assessment and management of vascular emergencies.
Venous Disease
Varicose veins treatment Electronic City has been transformed by the development of minimally invasive endovenous techniques. Where the standard treatment once involved surgical stripping under general anaesthesia with weeks of recovery, most patients are now treated with endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, or cyanoacrylate closure under local anaesthesia, returning to normal activities within one to two days.
Our assessment begins with duplex ultrasound mapping of the venous system, identifying the specific veins with valve failure and the pattern of reflux driving the varicosities. The treatment plan is then tailored to the anatomy found at ultrasound rather than applying a standard approach to every patient.
Beyond cosmetic and symptomatic varicose veins, our team manages the complications of chronic venous insufficiency including skin changes, lipodermatosclerosis, and venous ulcers. These advanced presentations require treating the underlying venous disease rather than simply managing the wound, and our team provides this integrated approach.
Deep vein thrombosis is assessed and managed with anticoagulation as the main treatment. Catheter-directed thrombolysis is considered in selected cases of extensive proximal thrombosis. The removal of clot reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome.
Dialysis Access
For chronic kidney disease requiring haemodialysis, creation and maintenance of dialysis access is a critical vascular service. Our team creates arteriovenous fistulas and grafts for dialysis access and manages the complications, including stenosis, thrombosis, and steal syndrome, that arise in existing access sites.
The Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot disease is a common vascular problem in people with diabetes and foot complications are a frequent cause of hospitalisation and disability. Our team follows a comprehensive approach to the diabetic foot, assessing arterial supply, performing revascularisation when blood flow is inadequate for healing, and coordinating with wound care and podiatry for ongoing management.
Why Choose KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City
For the communities of Electronic City, Neeladri Nagar, Anekal, Chandapura, and Hosur Road, having specialist endovascular surgery Electronic City accessible locally is significant. Vascular disease is chronic, requiring long-term follow-up, and the burden of repeated journeys to distant facilities is one that affects adherence to monitoring and follow-up in ways that have real clinical consequences.
At KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City, specialist vascular care is available within the full infrastructure of a multi-speciality hospital, with direct access to cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, and interventional radiology.
