Vascular health plays an essential role in your overall well-being. Problems affecting the arteries and veins can cause pain, swelling, poor circulation and, in some cases, serious complications.

At Italian Hospital – Umberto I Primo Cairo, our vascular surgery services focus on the diagnosis and treatment of vascular conditions. Patients receive specialized care based on their individual medical needs.

Dr. Fayez Abdo, Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, provides care for several vascular conditions, including varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, diabetic foot, arterial thrombosis, ischemia and vascular injuries.

What Is Vascular Surgery?

Vascular surgery focuses on conditions affecting the blood vessels, particularly the arteries and veins.

These vessels carry blood throughout the body. Therefore, a vascular problem can affect circulation in the legs, feet and other areas.

Treatment does not always require traditional surgery. Depending on the condition, vascular specialists may use medical treatment, catheter-based procedures, minimally invasive techniques or surgery.

At Italian Hospital, each patient is evaluated to determine an appropriate treatment approach.

Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose veins are enlarged and visible veins that commonly appear in the legs. For some people, they are mainly a cosmetic concern. However, others may experience pain, heaviness, swelling or discomfort.

Treatment depends on the patient’s condition and the severity of the venous problem.

Available approaches may include:

• Surgical treatment
• Laser treatment
• Injection sclerotherapy

The objective is to improve venous function while addressing the patient’s symptoms.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatment

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in a deep vein, often in the leg.

Because complications can occur, symptoms that could indicate DVT require prompt medical assessment.

When clinically appropriate, catheter-based techniques may form part of the treatment strategy. The treatment plan depends on factors such as the location and extent of the clot as well as the patient’s overall condition.

Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Care

People with diabetes may develop circulation problems in their feet. In addition, reduced blood flow can contribute to slow wound healing and other complications.

For this reason, early assessment is important.

Our vascular care includes evaluation and management of diabetic foot conditions. Treatment focuses on circulation, wound-related concerns and the prevention of further complications.

Arterial Thrombosis Management

Arterial thrombosis occurs when a blood clot obstructs blood flow through an artery.

Depending on its location and severity, this condition may require urgent medical attention.

A vascular specialist can assess blood circulation and determine the appropriate management strategy. Early diagnosis can be particularly important when blood supply to a limb is significantly reduced.

Treatment of Ischemia

Ischemia occurs when part of the body receives insufficient blood flow and oxygen.

In vascular disease, reduced circulation in the legs may lead to pain, difficulty walking, wounds or other symptoms.

Depending on the patient’s condition, treatment may involve catheter-based procedures or bypass surgery. The objective is to restore or improve blood flow whenever medically appropriate.

Dialysis Access Surgery

Patients receiving hemodialysis need reliable vascular access.

Vascular surgery can be used to create and manage dialysis access. The appropriate procedure depends on the patient’s blood vessels, medical history and dialysis requirements.

Regular assessment can also help identify problems that may affect the function of vascular access.

Treatment of Vascular Injuries

Blood vessels can be damaged by trauma, accidents or other injuries.

Vascular injuries require careful assessment because significant damage can affect blood flow and surrounding tissues.

Dr. Fayez Abdo provides evaluation and surgical management of vascular injuries according to the individual clinical situation.

When Should You See a Vascular Specialist?

Certain symptoms may indicate an underlying vascular problem. These can include persistent leg swelling, visible varicose veins, unexplained leg pain, changes in skin color, non-healing foot wounds or symptoms related to poor circulation.

People with diabetes should also pay close attention to changes in their feet.

If symptoms appear suddenly or are severe, particularly sudden limb pain, marked swelling, weakness, coldness or discoloration, urgent medical assessment may be necessary.

Vascular Surgery at Italian Hospital Cairo

Italian Hospital – Umberto I Primo Cairo provides specialized medical care for patients with vascular conditions.

Our approach combines clinical evaluation with appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Most importantly, treatment is selected according to each patient’s condition rather than using a single approach for every case.
