Vascular Surgery Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Our Understanding of Vascular Surgery
Vascular Surgery is a specialist area dealing with diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. It covers both elective and emergency conditions, ranging from varicose veins and peripheral arterial disease to complex aortic aneurysms and carotid artery disease.
NHS Trusts face significant pressures in vascular services due to rising demand, an ageing population, and the growing prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Vascular backlogs not only affect quality of life for patients with benign conditions but also carry serious risks in urgent cases, where timely intervention is critical to preventing life-threatening complications such as stroke, aneurysm rupture, or limb loss.
At NCI, we understand that Vascular Surgery requires highly skilled consultant-led teams, advanced imaging and diagnostic support, and seamless integration across multidisciplinary pathways, including cardiology, radiology, and critical care.
