Get fast help for vascular disease

Vascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels that circulate blood throughout your body. These blood vessels are also known as your arteries and veins. Arteries carry blood away from your heart to the rest of your body, while veins push blood back to your heart, making up a complex system of connecting veins and arteries that control your blood flow. There are several risk factors associated with vascular disease, which can often be prevented by choosing to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. These are:

High blood pressure

If your blood pressure is too high, it can damage your blood vessels, causing vascular disease.

Smoking

Smoking and other tobacco use can damage and narrow your blood vessels.

High cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood. If you have high cholesterol, it can cause your blood vessels to narrow and increase your risk of developing a blood clot.

Type 2 diabetes

This is a lifelong condition that causes your blood sugar level to become too high. High blood sugar levels can damage your blood vessels, making them more likely to become narrowed.

There are many types of vascular disease, including:

Stroke (when blood flow to your brain stops)
Varicose veins (swollen, twisted veins that often bulge through your skin)
Deep vein thrombosis (also known as DVT, this is a blood clot that occurs in your vein)
Peripheral arterial disease (also known as PAD, this is a condition that happens when your arteries become narrowed)
Chronic venous insufficiency (also known as CVI, this happens when the valves in your veins are damaged, causing blood to pool in the lower body)

Vascular disease is often treated by specialist vascular surgeons who are highly experienced in carrying out surgical procedures to help reduce and even eliminate your vascular symptoms.

At the Circle Cheshire Clinic in Northwich, we offer the highest standard of private healthcare for people who live in Cheshire and the surrounding areas.

Our clinic is home to a team of dedicated vascular surgeons who can diagnose and treat your disease condition with a wide range of excellent services, from minimally invasive procedures to more complex surgery.

When you go private, you can access treatment with a consultant of your choice at a time and place that suits you. To find out more about Circle Cheshire Clinic, call us or book online to arrange your first appointment.

Your first appointment with a vascular specialist is an important step in your journey toward getting expert help for your symptoms. During this consultation, your consultant will take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and specific healthcare needs.

The consultation will typically involve an in-depth discussion of how your symptoms impact your everyday life, along with a physical examination to assess your symptoms. For example, your consultant will want to examine any physical signs of vascular disease, such as a varicose vein or swollen leg.

Your consultant may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as an X-ray, MRI, or blood work, to assess the blood flow in your veins or arteries and the extent of damage caused by vascular disease. If scans or tests are needed, you may need to return for a follow-up appointment to discuss the results. After a diagnosis has been made, your consultant will explain their findings in detail and outline the recommended treatment options available to you. Following your consultation, you will receive a letter at home summarising your diagnosis and treatment options, giving you the clarity and confidence you need to make your next steps.

At the Circle Cheshire Clinic, our brilliant team of vascular surgeons can perform many treatment options to help you recover from vascular disease. This includes:

Radiofrequency ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the wall of a varicose vein, causing it to collapse and close. A varicose vein is a swollen, enlarged, and twisted vein that typically appears just under the surface of your skin, most commonly in your legs. A varicose vein develops when the valves inside of it, which help regulate your blood flow, become weak or damaged. While they may not always cause symptoms, varicose veins can lead to discomfort, pain, swelling, and sometimes more serious complications like ulcers or blood clots. Your consultant will perform this procedure by inserting a heating device through a small incision near your knee or through a catheter that is threaded into the vein under your skin. As the device is slowly withdrawn, it heats and seals the vein along the way, allowing it to shrink and heal. Your consultant can treat more than one vein at a time during this procedure, if needed.

We offer many more treatment options for cardiovascular disease. Get in touch to learn more about them.
