Find the expert, specialized vascular surgeries you need
Vascular diseases disrupt the intricate system of blood vessels that transport blood throughout your body. If you have a vascular condition, treatment by a vascular specialist and vascular surgeon could be a key part of your treatment plan.
With access to advanced techniques and specialized technologies, your surgeon can recommend the right solution for your condition.
What to expect from vascular surgery
Each vascular surgery has different requirements, and your care team will provide you with instructions about preparing for your specific procedure. Your instructions may include tests you’ll need both before and after the procedure and guidelines for taking medications and fasting before the procedure.
It’s important to carefully review those instructions in the days and weeks before surgery to ensure you fully understand the steps you need to take.
Recovering from vascular surgery
Recovery after vascular surgery and the length of your hospital stay depends on the specific procedure and whether it was an open or endovascular surgery. Ask your surgeon what to expect after surgery, including how long you’ll need to stay in the hospital and what you can expect for your recovery.
Your care team can advise you about any symptoms to watch for that could indicate a complication. If you experience potential signs of infection or other complications, call your surgeon’s office or follow the provided instructions.
Full recovery and healing may take from several days to several months. Carefully follow your vascular surgeon’s guidance about when it’s safe to resume daily activities, including work.
