From varicose veins to complex aortic aneurysms, our expert vascular surgery team at Aster Hospitals treats the full spectrum of vascular disease.
Vascular surgery is a super-speciality dedicated to the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the circulatory system. Vascular surgery aims to improve blood flow, prevent complications, and manage diseases of arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels.
While cardiologists focus on the heart and neurosurgeons on the brain, vascular and endovascular surgeons manage diseases of arteries and veins outside the heart and brain, including carotid artery disease. Precisely, they manage the body's circulatory network, which spreads oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Any obstruction or damage can have serious consequences for overall health and can even lead to limb amputation or stroke, drastically altering a person's life.
Moreover, issues like varicose veins, while not immediately life-threatening, can cause significant discomfort and affect one's daily routine. Additionally, vascular surgeons create dialysis access for chronic health conditions like kidney disease.
The highly qualified and experienced vascular surgeons at Aster Hospitals repair or bypass damaged vessels to restore proper blood flow. Our vascular surgery department provides a seamless blend of medical management, minimally invasive endovascular techniques, and traditional open surgery to restore circulatory health.
Vascular surgery treats diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatics, excluding those within the heart and brain. It is a field that demands high precision, as the vascular system is intricate and essential for survival.
Timely and accurate vascular treatment is essential, as blocked arteries can result in limb loss or stroke, while venous issues like varicose veins often lead to chronic pain and visible skin changes. Furthermore, vascular surgeons are essential for providing dialysis access, making them an integral part of the care team for patients with chronic kidney disease.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): The arteries that supply blood to the legs or arms become narrowed due to plaque buildup. This reduces blood flow to the muscles and tissues. Many people notice leg pain, cramping while walking, numbness, or slow-healing wounds on the feet.
Aortic Aneurysm: An aortic aneurysm is a condition in which a section of the body’s main artery (the aorta) becomes enlarged or weakened, causing it to bulge outward. This can develop slowly over time and may not cause symptoms in the early stages.
Aortic Dissection: An aortic dissection occurs when a small tear forms in the inner layer of the aorta’s wall, allowing blood to flow between the layers of the artery. These conditions affect blood flow and require careful medical evaluation, imaging, and timely management.
Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke Prevention: Fatty deposits build up in the carotid arteries, the main blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Reduced blood flow or plaque rupture can interfere with brain circulation, which may lead to temporary symptoms such as weakness, speech difficulty, or vision changes.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) / Pulmonary Embolism: Blood clots form in deep veins, most commonly in the legs. This may cause swelling, pain, warmth, or redness in the affected limb. In some cases, part of the clot can move to the lungs, known as pulmonary embolism, which requires prompt medical attention.
Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency: Swollen, twisted veins that are often visible under the skin. Chronic venous insufficiency may also cause leg heaviness, swelling, skin changes, or discomfort after prolonged standing.
Diabetic Foot or Limb Salvage: Efforts to prevent amputation in patients with severe diabetic complications. Limb-salvage care focuses on restoring circulation, controlling infection, and promoting wound healing to preserve tissue and maintain mobility whenever possible.
Effective vascular treatment begins with accurate diagnosis and evidence-based intervention. The best vascular surgery hospitals are equipped with advanced imaging techniques, minimally invasive treatment options and multidisciplinary expertise. All these factors significantly influence clinical outcomes. At Aster Hospitals, our department follows structured clinical protocols supported by advanced imaging and multidisciplinary collaboration.

We offer a diverse range of structured surgical treatments to address specific vascular needs effectively.
These conditions involve the vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart.
This condition occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs, causing pain, slow-healing wounds, or difficulty walking. We use angioplasty, stenting, and bypass surgery to restore healthy circulation and help prevent limb complications.
This medical condition refers to a dangerous bulge or weakening in the wall of the body's main artery, which can occur in the chest or abdomen.
Our team performs both Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR/TEVAR) and open surgical repair for aneurysms in the chest or abdomen.
It involves narrowing of the neck arteries that supply blood to the brain, which significantly increases the risk of stroke. We perform carotid endarterectomy to mitigate stroke risk and stenting to clear blockages in the neck arteries.
These issues affect how blood returns to the heart. Our vascular treatment addresses the following medical conditions.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that can cause pain, heaviness and in some cases swelling in the legs. We provide minimally invasive treatments such as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), micro-phlebectomy, and sclerotherapy to relieve symptoms and improve appearance with faster recovery.
DVT develops when a clot forms in one of the body's deeper veins, most commonly in the lower limbs. It can become life-threatening if it travels to the lungs (PE). Our team of vascular surgeons offers advanced treatments, including catheter-directed clot removal, thrombectomy, and IVC filter placement, to safely manage and prevent complications.
Lymphoedema causes long-term swelling due to lymphatic system blockage. We provide specialised lymphatic drainage therapy and surgical options to reduce swelling, improve lymphatic drainage and enhance mobility.
For kidney failure patients, reliable access is a lifeline and long-lasting stability.
It is a procedure that connects an artery directly to a vein to create stable access for dialysis. An arteriovenous fistula is commonly used to provide reliable access for long-term dialysis in patients with kidney failure. We specialise in the creation, maintenance, and revision of AV fistulas and grafts to support effective dialysis.
It is a procedure that involves placing a tunnelled catheter into a large central vein to provide immediate, reliable access for dialysis. A PERMCATH is commonly used when patients require urgent dialysis or are waiting for an AV fistula or graft to mature and become usable. We specialise in the precise insertion, maintenance, and safe management of these catheters to support seamless dialysis therapy.
It is a procedure that uses minimally invasive techniques or surgical revision to clear blockages and restore blood flow within a failing dialysis fistula or graft. Fistula salvage angioplasty is commonly used to treat stenosis and blood clots that threaten the viability of a patient’s dialysis access. We specialise in angioplasty, stenting, and surgical thrombectomy to preserve and prolong the life of your existing access.
It is a condition and corresponding intervention that addresses the narrowing of the major veins leading to the heart, which restricts blood flow from the dialysis access. Central vein stenosis is commonly caused by previous dialysis catheters and can lead to severe arm swelling and access failure. We specialise in advanced diagnostic imaging and targeted interventions, such as angioplasty and stenting, to reopen narrowed veins and ensure continued dialysis access.
We prioritise techniques that reduce hospital stays and recovery time for our patients.
These are minimally invasive procedures performed through a thin, flexible tube inserted into the blood vessels. Our expertise covers angioplasty, stents, atherectomy, and embolisation. These advanced techniques help restore healthy blood flow with smaller incisions. Patients experience less pain during the procedure and recover faster.
Using hybrid operating rooms, we combine open and endovascular approaches. This allows for shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Our vascular team performs limb-salvage procedures to restore circulation, preserve tissue viability, and prevent major amputation.
We believe in making the treatment process as smooth as possible.

We are committed to saving limbs and improving lives through advanced vascular care in Dubai.
Vascular surgery treats diseases like blockages of the arteries and veins outside the heart and brain. You might need it to prevent a stroke, save a leg, treat an aneurysm, or fix symptomatic varicose veins.
Look for a board-certified surgeon who is experienced in both open and endovascular techniques. It is also important to choose a hospital with accredited facilities and a strong support team.
We offer Peripheral Angiogram and Angioplasty, stenting, laser/RFA/Glue treatment for varicose veins (EVLT/RFA/Glue ablation), and Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). These involve small incisions and typically allow for quicker recovery.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Minimally invasive treatments often allow a return to normal activities within a few days. Open surgeries, like bypass, may require several weeks of recovery.
Many conditions, such as Peripheral Artery Disease, varicose veins, and certain aneurysms, can be effectively treated using catheter-based endovascular methods.
Preparation varies by procedure. Generally, you may need to adjust medications, fast beforehand, and arrange for a ride home. Your "vascular surgeon Dubai" and care team will give you specific instructions.
Not always. Many endovascular procedures are day-care cases or require only a short stay. Open surgeries generally need a few days of hospitalisation.
Yes, we have a dedicated desk to help international patients with travel, accommodation, and appointments. Moreover, our physicians, surgeons and clinical teams offer multilingual service for ease of understanding.
Aster Hospitals offers advanced varicose vein treatments. That includes laser therapy and sclerotherapy at our locations in Mankhool, Al Qusais, Jebel Ali, Muhaisnah, etc.
