| Vascular Surgery
Although good blood flow is essential to every part of the body, Vascular Surgery deals specifically with problems in the blood vessels themselves. Arteries and veins can become narrowed over time and decrease vital blood flow. These vessels can also stretch and become dilated and eventually rupture. The Vascular surgeons at Paris Surgical Specialists are trained in special techniques to relieve blockages and repair stretched vessels before they cause problems.
Our surgeons have worked closely with Henry County Medical Center to develop and build the areas first Angiography suite. This very special room contains the modern equipment needed to find and fix a problem within a blood vessel. Many surgeries that used to take hours and involved a lengthy hospital stay can now be accomplished with a 2-inch incision with just an overnight stay. Small, specialized instruments can be inserted into the blood vessels and guided through the blood stream to the problem area. Once located, an unhealthy vessel can be cleaned out, repaired, or reinforced with special devices called stents that hold the vessel open. Options that were previously only available in major cities are now here for you in Paris, Tennessee.
If you are experiencing problems related to poor blood flow in the arteries or veins contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our Vascular Surgeons.
