What are Angiology and Vascular Surgery?
Angiology focuses on the study and treatment of diseases affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels, ranging from mild disorders to more severe conditions that require complex surgical approaches.
Vascular surgery is utilized to repair, replace, or remove damaged blood vessels. Procedures are performed using traditional or minimally invasive techniques in an outpatient, day surgery, or inpatient setting, based on the patient's clinical needs.
