The Department of Vascular Surgery at UMHAT “Kanev” has an interregional status. It applies all conservative and surgical methods for the treatment of peripheral vascular surgical diseases. Surgical treatment is performed for: acute arterial insufficiency of the limbs, complicated and uncomplicated abdominal aortic aneurysms and peripheral arterial aneurysms, chronic arterial or venous insufficiency of the limbs, as well as conservative treatment of acute and chronic venous insufficiency and chronic arterial insufficiency of the limbs, chronic lymphedema of the limbs, as well as endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular diseases and providing vascular access for hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure.
The department is located on the 8th floor of the Surgical Block and has 16 hospital beds.
The department is equipped with a modern hybrid operating room, the fifth of its kind in Bulgaria. It is equipped with the Alphenix Core+ angiography system from Canon, which provides detailed, three-dimensional imaging of even the smallest blood vessels in the human body. The operating room allows for simultaneous imaging and surgical procedures without the need to move the patient. This reduces the duration of the intervention, allows for the treatment of highly complex cases in a single stage, significantly decreases the complication rate, and lowers the risk of infections. The department is also equipped with an “Ivus” ultrasound machine, which provides 360-degree visualization of the inside of blood vessels for precise diagnostics without the use of contrast agents. Vascular surgeons also have access to a color duplex scanner (Doppler ultrasound) and a Doppler-sonographic machine.
