Angiology and Vascular Surgery

Applying an injection to a patient's leg

Angiology and Vascular Surgery is the medical specialty dedicated to the study, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the circulatory system, heart and central nervous system. This specialty treats disorders in the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels, both medically and surgically.

Among the most frequent pathologies are chronic venous insufficiencies (including varicose veins and venous leg ulcers), venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, and aneurysms.

Besides surgical procedures, specialists in Angiology and Vascular Surgery deploy multiple non-invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques that can forego hospitalization, such as Laser Therapy or Sclerotherapy.

At the Joaquim Chaves Saúde Units, a team of dedicated and qualified specialists with recognized expertise deals with various aspects of Angiology and Vascular Surgery, ready to advise in various clinical and aesthetic scenarios.

Medical treatments

Get to know some of our most commonly used procedures and approaches for the treatment of varicose veins.

Laser therapy

It is a type of treatment that makes it possible to perform surgeries in a less invasive and aggressive way. The laser is nothing more than a source of very intense light, emitting heat. While cutting tissue, the laser causes clotting and seals vessels and nerve endings. Laser therapy does not cause bleeding while creating smaller edemas, with a less painful postoperative period.
Sclerotherapy

This is another viable treatment for varicose veins, especially at an early stage. In this procedure, a solution is injected directly into the vein, causing a reaction. It is a quick treatment that, in most cases, requires only one session, allowing the blood to circulate through other, healthier veins.
Surgery for varicose veins

Eliminates the affected veins through surgery or less invasive techniques, such as radiofrequency. Surgery is an option when other forms of non-invasive treatment, such as diet or the use of compression stockings, cannot eliminate or disguise varicose veins, which continue to cause discomfort and aesthetic modifications in the legs.
