Phlebology. Department of Vascular Surgery

The Department of Vascular Surgery treats patients with cardiac pathologies and diseases peripheral vessels.

The cardiosurgical component of the department's work is represented by the arrhythmology service. The department treats cardiac arrhythmias:

  • X-ray electrotechnical control of EKS work;
  • testing and programming of EKS operation in various modes;

To the treatment of patients with diseasesperipheral vessels include:

  • varicose veins of the lower extremities
  • thrombosis of deep and subcutaneous veins
  • post-thrombophlebitic disease
  • trophic skin disorders
  • congenital vascular pathologies
  • atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities
  • obliterating endarteritis, Raynaud's disease
  • atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries
  • aneurysm of the abdominal artery and peripheral arteries
  • lymphedema

The department has many years of experience in managing patients with venous insufficiency: from varicose veins and acute phlebothrombosis to chronic venous pathologies with trophic disorders. The department performs surgical interventions aimed at eliminating varicose veins. The department successfully performs endovenous laser ablation of saphenous veins and transcutaneous manipulations.

We use modern equipment to obtain the best result in the treatment of patients with varicose veins. Endovenous laser ablation allows to achieve a good surgical and cosmetic effect in a shorter time with early recovery of the patient.

When working with patients suffering from vein thrombosis, an integrated approach is used. We try not only to timely identify this life-threatening condition, but also to find its cause.

The department performs the following operations:

  • endovenous laser vein ablation (EVLA)
  • combined phlebectomy
  • sclerotherapy
  • open carotid endarterectomy
  • subclavian carotid bypass
  • profundoplasty
  • aorto-femoral, femoral-popliteal shunting
  • angiography
  • endovascular angioplasty and stenting of peripheral arteries
  • implantation of a stand graft into the abdominal aorta
  • thrombectomy from peripheral arteries
  • lumbar sympathectomy
  • hybrid operations
  • arteriovenous fistula formation

The widespread introduction of endovascular technologies makes it possible to determine the degree and localization of arterial damage in the shortest possible time. The use of advanced technologies makes it possible to provide high-quality care to patients at various stages of atherosclerosis development: from the very initial (when the patient needs to prevent the development of atherosclerosis) to conditions that threaten the limb. The department has experience in rehabilitation and postoperative management of patients of varying severity.

Statistics on the incidence of varicose veins is not much different for people living both in different countries and in regions of Russia. As for our region, a third of Nizhny Novgorod residents suffer from varicose veins. If divided by gender, then this disease is found in 30% of women and 10% of men. This is also confirmed in the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Clinical Hospital named after Semashko. I am glad at least that our fellow countrymen were not affected by the trend towards "rejuvenation" of varicose veins. After all, according to some experts, if earlier it was diagnosed in older people, now it is more and more often in 25-30-year-olds. But, according to the observations and experience of the head of the 2nd surgical department of the surgical clinic of the Semashko National Clinical Hospital Boris Korolev, "this is still a disease of the elderly."

What can provoke the development of varicose veins? Heredity, excess weight, hormonal imbalance, lifestyle features (for example, work that involves standing for a long time), as well as pregnancy. But the disease can be prevented if you turn to a phlebologist in time. At the initial stage, the treatment of varicose veins is carried out without surgery and allows you to completely restore the beauty and original health of the legs. If you simply ignore the first manifestations of varicose veins - venous insufficiency can lead to the development of trophic ulcers, dermatitis, thrombophlebitis. But the most insidious thing is that, if left untreated, varicose veins can lead to the separation of a blood clot and death.

Timely consultation with a phlebologist will allow you to apply effective and painless non-surgical methods. What can Nizhny Novgorod hospitals and clinics offer?

Statistics tell us that every fourth adult suffers from vein problems. Data from other sources give even more frightening figures: 40% of people suffer from varicose veins.

The discrepancy between the data is understandable - the researchers take different social groups, study the incidence rate of people in different living and working conditions.

For example, if you look at what makes up the daily workload of rural residents from small remote villages, you can see that they are forced to carry a lot of heavy objects, starting with buckets of water from a well.

On the other hand, they are not familiar with physical inactivity, they spend the whole day on their feet, loading their legs with walking, which is very good for the health of the veins. There is often no not only the Internet, but also mobile communications, which means that staying in an unchanged position for many hours with a “mouse” or a phone in hand is also unavailable.

Varicose veins in the big city

  1. And residents of a large city, for example, Nizhny Novgorod, have been deprived of the joys of a simple pedestrian since childhood, because the size and remoteness of urban areas (the city area is 466 km 2) force residents to travel by transport.
  2. Work - sitting in the office or standing at work - mercilessly destroys the veins in the legs.
  3. At home, civilization services contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, plus TV, computer, telephone, habitual overeating, smoking - all conditions for pathological deformation of superficial veins.

Causes of varicose veins

They can be collected in several groups:

  • Hypodynamia;
  • Congenital weakness of the walls of the veins and their valvular apparatus;
  • The formation of a mechanical obstacle to the outflow of venous blood (excess weight, pregnancy, forced monotonous body position);
  • Immunological and neuroendocrine disorders.

Treatment of varicose veins

In the early stages, conservative treatment is possible, which, combined with a change in lifestyle to a more active one (it’s not without reason that fitness clubs are so in demand in cities of any size), compression underwear and folk remedies can stop the development of unwanted changes in blood vessels.

Unfortunately, the time allotted for drug treatment is quickly running out.

In difficult cases, methods are used that close the lumen of the dilated vein:

  1. sclerotherapy - drug "gluing" of the walls of the vessel;
  2. laser ablation - treatment of the lumen of the vein with a laser to turn it into a cord;
  3. radio frequency ablation (RFA) - the same action by generating radio frequencies inside a vein.

The question arises of a radical solution to the problem with the help of surgical methods.

In any case, I want to entrust my veins to real specialists.

Review 1: - "Getting rid of aching pains and leaden heaviness in the legs, sleep without cramps, freedom of movement at least for short distances - this is worth the material costs and time for examination that were required to solve my problem."

Review 2: Long live scientific progress! Varicose veins on the legs are our family burden. My mother and grandmother suffered from it, I received such an inheritance from them from a young age. And now - behind the operation, which I was so afraid of, and everything was decided quickly, painlessly and efficiently. Thank you, my dear saviors-doctors!”

Children's phlebology

Regrettably, but the pathology of the veins can be detected in childhood. Pathological symptoms develop rapidly, and before entering school, the child needs to consult a phlebologist.

Congenital Knippel-Trepane syndrome is formed at the 5-20th week of embryonic development of the fetus and manifests itself:

  • congenital pigment spots on the skin,
  • hypertrophy (enlargement) of the muscles and bones of the limb,
  • varicose veins on the foot and ankles.

Another severe case of angiodysplasia is Parks Weber's syndrome, in which fistulas between arteries and veins form as early as 5-8 weeks of embryonic development.

The cause of the development of the pathology can be the flu transferred by the mother during pregnancy, pneumonia, poisoning, as well as alcoholism and addiction to smoking of one of the parents.

The optimal term for surgical intervention on the vessels is 2-5 years of age, delay can lead to disability.

Noticing the thickening of the veins on the baby's legs, the mother should immediately ring all the bells: advise a phlebologist who will save my child's legs.

It should be noted that in any phlebological center there are professional doctors who, without having a specific specialization "children's phlebologist" (due to the rarity of cases of children's varicose veins), will provide highly qualified assistance. Consultation and ultrasound examination costs in different clinics from 600 to 1100 rubles. Treatment will return the joy of movement to the child.

Phlebology:

The science aimed at studying the venous system, diagnosing diseases, as well as treatment and prevention in this area is called phlebology. Today it is one of the most demanded and actively developing areas of medicine.
The fact is that almost every person has certain problems in this area, which, with timely treatment, can be eliminated and thereby prevent the development of more complex, and sometimes incurable complications.

In order to find out if you need phlebologist consultation, you should figure out what symptoms are characterized by diseases of the veins.

Signs of pathologies

To begin with, all symptoms can have varying degrees of severity. The most common signs of the presence of pathology are the following conditions:

severe fatigue in the legs;
feeling of heaviness at the end of the day;
night cramps;
the appearance of spider veins on the legs;
skin changes (flaking, dryness and itching);
swelling of the legs, appearing in the evening and independently passing by the morning;
with the progression of the disease - the formation of ulcers.

Causes of vein pathology

First of all, it should be noted that venous diseases have a pronounced hereditary factor.

In the presence of current diseases, they can develop as a result of an increased load on the legs of a monotonous nature.

It can be sedentary work, standing for a long time, and so on. Also, frequent physical activity, especially with heavy lifting, can provoke the disease.

In women, vein pathology often develops during or after pregnancy, as well as while taking hormonal drugs. In addition to the above, diseases can cause excess weight, uncomfortable shoes, flat feet, and so on.

At the same time, just loading or wearing high heels is not a guarantee that sooner or later you will have problems with veins.

As already mentioned, the main reason is hereditary predisposition, in which the vessels do not have the necessary elasticity.

As a result, the appearance of the second provoking factor from the above contributes to the development of the disease.

Treatment of vein diseases

In order to choose an effective treatment, an accurate diagnosis must first be made.

Most often phlebologists one has to deal with such pathologies as varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, lymphostasis and telangiectasias.

Each of these diseases has its own characteristics and methods of treatment.

There are several ways to deal with these pathologies. First of all, this is a conservative treatment using ointments and preparations.

Also used are sclerotherapy and surgical operations such as crossectomy, stripping, phlebectomy and others.

These methods help to avoid complications. The latter include thrombophlebitis, characterized by inflammation of the venous wall and tissues with the simultaneous formation of a blood clot.

Diagnosed with deep vein involvement phlebothrombosis.

When trophism is disturbed, trophic ulcers are formed, which not only cause pain, but also negatively affect aesthetics. There is also a risk of bleeding from the affected veins.

It is especially important to choose the right clinic when there are risks of vein damage.

It should be noted that today private clinics have the latest equipment that allows you to accurately determine the degree of damage. The same applies to treatments.

That is why most often with such pathologies people turn to private clinics.
