Our Areas of Specialization in Vascular Medicine and Vascular Surgery
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are widespread and not only cosmetically disturbing.
Often these also lead to physical complaints and secondary diseases. For example, heavy and swollen legs and, in advanced stages, painful chronic phlebitis or dangerous thrombosis.
Spider Veins
Thrombosis
Thrombosis is a serious vascular disease in which a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a blood vessel.

Laser Therapy / Radio Frequency Therapy
Minimally invasive treatment methods can now replace classic varicose vein operations.
Minimally invasive therapy methods – such as laser therapy and radio wave therapy in particular – represent modern and gentle alternatives to stripping surgery in the treatment of varicose veins.
Carotid Artery
Narrowing of the carotid artery (carotid stenosis) is a risk factor for the occurrence of a stroke.
Every year around 14 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. A narrowing of the carotid artery is the cause of this in around xxx,000 patients. The main reason is vascular calcification (arteriosclerosis) of the carotid arteries.
Circulatory Disorders
In the case of arterial circulatory disorders, the vessels in certain areas of the body are narrowed or even blocked.
The blood can no longer flow through it unhindered. Limbs or organs are no longer adequately supplied with oxygen and nutrients. The most common cause is hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), in acute cases also a vascular occlusion (embolism).
Aneurysm
An aneurysm is a pathological bulging of a blood vessel.
Aneurysms occur particularly often in the abdomen in the area of the main artery (abdominal aortic aneurysm). These are reliably diagnosed by means of an ultrasound examination.
