Vascular Surgeries At A Glance

Our vascular system is a complex network comprising of nearly 100,000 miles of blood vessels (arteries and veins) that carry blood to and for between the heart and rest of the body. A healthy vascular system is paramount if we wish for a healthy life.

Vascular diseases, if not treated timely, can cause great discomfort and pain to the patients leading to death in the severest of cases. Over the years, Cardio Thoracic Vascular Surgery has helped millions of patients in restoring their infected blood vessels and getting them back to a healthy, happy and comfortable life.
