The vascular system is one of the body's most expansive networks. It carries blood from the heart to every organ and tissue and then returns it as well. When a vessel is narrowed, blocked, ballooned, or damaged, the consequences reach whatever that vessel was supplying. A blocked carotid artery threatens the brain. A narrowed artery in the leg causes pain with every step. A swollen aortic aneurysm sits quietly until it ruptures with catastrophic results. Varicose veins that look cosmetic turn out, in many cases, to cause genuine symptoms that worsen over years.
The Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura provides specialist diagnosis and treatment for the arterial, venous, and lymphatic conditions. Our team manages vascular surgery Mahadevapura, Bengaluru, with a combination of open surgical expertise and advanced endovascular techniques that have transformed the treatment of many vascular conditions over the past two decades.
What Vascular Surgery Covers
Vascular surgery is concerned with blood vessels outside the heart and brain. Within that domain, it encompasses an enormous range of conditions affecting arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system across the body. The vascular surgeon needs to understand the physiology of blood flow, the mechanics of atherosclerosis, the behaviour of aneurysms, and the technical demands of operating on vessels from the neck to the foot.
Endovascular surgery Mahadevapura is a minimally invasive technique that accesses the inside of blood vessels through small punctures using catheters, balloons, stents, and other devices deployed under imaging guidance. Many conditions that previously required major open surgery are now treated endovascularly, with significantly shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and lower procedural risk.
Arterial Conditions We Treat
Peripheral artery disease, the narrowing of arteries supplying the legs and feet, driven by the same atherosclerotic process that causes coronary artery disease. Symptoms range from leg pain during walking that relieves with rest, a pattern called claudication, to rest pain and non-healing wounds in more advanced disease. Peripheral artery disease Bengaluru at our centre covers the full spectrum from medical management and lifestyle optimisation through to balloon angioplasty, stenting, and bypass surgery depending on the anatomy and severity of disease.
Carotid artery disease develops when atherosclerotic plaque narrows the carotid arteries supplying the brain. It is one of the most important preventable causes of stroke, and our team manages it with carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting depending on the individual patient's risk profile and the anatomy of the disease.
Aortic aneurysm is a dangerous ballooning of the body's main artery, which is managed with endovascular aortic repair using stent grafts delivered through small groin incisions, or open surgical repair when the anatomy is not suitable for endovascular treatment. The development of endovascular aortic repair has transformed the risk profile of treating these potentially life-threatening conditions.
Renal and visceral artery disease, narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys and abdominal organs, is managed with angioplasty and stenting when intervention is indicated.
Acute limb ischaemia, a surgical emergency where a limb suddenly loses its blood supply, requires immediate assessment and intervention to restore flow before permanent damage occurs.
Venous Conditions We Treat
Varicose veins are a very common vascular condition presenting to our department. They develop when the one-way valves within the leg veins fail. The blood pools and the enlarged veins become visible beneath the skin. Beyond the cosmetic concern, varicose veins cause aching, swelling, skin changes, and in advanced cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal without treating the underlying venous insufficiency.
Varicose veins treatment Mahadevapura at our centre has moved well beyond traditional surgical stripping. Endovenous laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation are the standard of care for most patients, delivering heat energy to the affected vein through a catheter to seal it shut, without significant incisions and most patients return to normal activities within days.
For smaller vessels, foam sclerotherapy and cyanoacrylate closure offer effective minimally invasive options. Our team selects the most appropriate technique based on duplex ultrasound mapping of the venous anatomy, the distribution of reflux, and the patient's specific clinical picture.
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are managed with anticoagulation. In selected cases, catheter-directed thrombolysis removes the clot more rapidly and reduce the long-term consequences of venous obstruction.
Venous ulcers, chronic wounds around the ankle due to longstanding venous insufficiency, are managed with a combination of compression therapy and treatment of the underlying venous disease. Healing rates are higher when the main cause of venous reflux is addressed rather than managing the wound.
Arteriovenous Fistula for Dialysis Access
For patients with chronic kidney disease requiring haemodialysis, an arteriovenous fistula is the preferred form of vascular access. Our vascular team performs fistula creation in coordination with nephrology, ensuring access is established before dialysis becomes urgent rather than in a crisis. We also manage complications including stenosis, thrombosis, aneurysm formation, and steal syndrome, where blood is diverted away from the hand causing pain and ischaemia in the fingers.
Lymphatic Conditions
Lymphoedema, a chronic swelling of the limbs due to impaired lymphatic drainage, is managed through compression therapy and skin care. Surgical options, including lymphovenous anastomosis and vascularised lymph node transfer, are reserved for special cases.
Diabetic Foot and Wound Care
Diabetes and peripheral artery disease in patients increase the risk of foot complications that can progress to amputation. Our vascular team works directly with endocrinology, wound care nurses, and podiatry to provide an integrated approach to the diabetic foot, with revascularisation performed when blood flow assessment indicates that healing will not occur without restoring arterial supply.
Diagnostic Services
Our vascular team uses duplex ultrasound as the primary non-invasive diagnostic tool for both arterial and venous disease. CT angiography and magnetic resonance angiography provide detailed anatomical mapping of arterial disease when endovascular or surgical intervention is being planned. The ankle-brachial index is used as a reliable, simple, and inexpensive screening tool for peripheral artery disease.
Why Choose KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura
Managing vascular disease effectively requires a team with expertise across both open surgical and endovascular techniques, because no single approach is right for every patient or every condition. At KIMS Hospitals, Mahadevapura, our vascular surgery team provides this breadth of expertise alongside the full diagnostic and interventional infrastructure of a multi-speciality hospital. For patients in Mahadevapura, Whitefield, and East Bengaluru, having specialist vascular care accessible locally is meaningful, because many vascular conditions require multiple appointments and, when emergencies arise, proximity to the right expertise matters enormously.
