Vascular Surgery

"We offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments, using the latest technology available for treating vascular diseases and techniques such as angioplasty, stents and endoprosthetics".

DR. JOSÉ IGNACIO LEAL
PERSON IN CHARGE. VASCULAR SURGERY SERVICE

The Vascular Surgery Service is in charge of the comprehensive management of diseases that affect the entire circulatory system of the body (arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels), including chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins), peripheral arterial disease ("shop window syndrome"), aortic aneurysms and atherosclerotic carotid disease (related to stroke).

It relies on a team of surgeons and nursing professionals specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of all vascular pathologies. Being equipped with the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technology, it allows for effective and rapid solutions for the patient.

In addition, the Clinic boasts an Area of Phlebology which is a pioneer in Spain in the treatment of varicose veins in the extremities by means of the phleboesclerosis technique with microfoam and other innovative techniques.

Cutting-edge treatments

Transcaroteal revascularisation

Recognised as a 'Centre of Excellence' in the performance of transcarotidal revascularisation, the Clinic is committed to this minimally invasive procedure, which is performed under local anaesthetic in order to treat the stenosis of the carotid arteries (the main vessels that nourish the brain).

Pelvic Varicose Veins

We opt for an outpatient treatment, which lasts one hour, to cure pelvic varicose veins, common in women who have been mothers. Through a puncture in the arm, the patient can leave the hospital that same day with only a small plaster.

Lower limb varicose veins

Varicose veins are not only an aesthetic problem but also a sign of chronic vascular injury, which is why we take a comprehensive and individualised approach that allows us to carry out a treatment that last for an hour, avoiding hospitalisation and allowing the patient to return to the routine immediately.

Safety and precision

The new operating rooms installed at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra allow for greater intraoperative precision in the surgeries performed on patients, since high quality images can be obtained at the same time as they are being performed, allowing surgeons to check the effectiveness of the operation even before it is completed.
