Diagnostics and surgical treatment of diseases of blood vessels (arteries, veins and lymphatics); Color Duplex Scan of neck blood vessels (carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, jugular veins); Color Duplex Scan of arteries and veins of arms and legs (superficial and deep veins); Color Duplex Scan of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, abdominal veins (iliac veins, inferior vena cava).
Vascular surgery is a branch of surgery that deals with all problems related to blood vessels (arteries, veins and lymphatics). A special segment of the vascular surgeon's work is angiology, which primarily covers the diagnosis and conservative treatment of the most varied vascular pathology.
Diagnosis of vascular diseases encompasses various examinations, both invasive and non-invasive. In Poliklinika Živanović almost all non-invasive examinations on different segments of blood vessels can be performed, and these are:
- Color Duplex Scan of neck blood vessels (carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, jugular veins) in terms of diagnosing diseases on these blood vessels and advice on further treatment - conservative or surgical.
- Colour Duplex Scan of the arteries and veins of the arms, to detect pathological processes and guide further treatment.
- Color Duplex Scan of arteries and veins (superficial and deep veins) in terms of detecting diseases that often occur on them (thrombosis of superficial and deep veins, varicosities of superficial veins, stenosis and occlusions on leg arteries, various anomalies on these blood vessels...). Based on these examinations, patients are recommended further procedures (non-surgical and surgical) as well as all treatment modalities.
- ASP index and introductory examinations for further diagnostic procedures, or final parameters for further monitoring of pathology in the leg arteries (preoperatively, postoperatively), are performed using CWD devices.
- Colour Duplex Scan of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries to assess pathological changes that often occur in this largest abdominal artery (atherosclerotic deposits in the abdominal aorta, dilatation of these blood vessels, i.e. abdominal aortic aneurysms ...). The examination detects arterial changes and provides advice on further monitoring, the need for surgical treatment and treatment options.
- Colour Duplex Scan of abdominal veins (iliac veins and the inferior vena cava), which can detect changes such as thrombotic and possible compressive processes in these veins, followed by advice and treatment options for these conditions.
All examinations related to the field of vascular pathology are performed by dr Dragan Stamenković (permanently employed at the Centre for Vascular Surgery KC "Kragujevac" for 18 years) on the most modern 3D ultrasound device, with which it is possible to perform almost the entire spectrum of vascular examinations.
After diagnostic procedures, patients receive advice on all treatment options, including medication and surgical methods.
In Poliklinika Živanović In the future, the introduction of some surgical treatment methods, primarily for superficial venous blood vessels of the legs, is planned.
