Vascular surgery: Treatment of vascular diseases in Israel

Vascular surgery in Israel covers the treatment of various disorders affecting blood vessels.

The main areas include:

• Aneurysms of the aorta and other vessels – serious conditions in which the walls of arteries thin and may rupture. At Ichilov’s Vascular Surgery Department, advanced treatments are applied, including both traditional surgery and catheter-based techniques, such as stent placement.
• Carotid artery stenosis – narrowing of the arterial lumen that can lead to stroke. Vascular procedures in Israel are performed using both traditional methods and innovative endovascular interventions, including stenting to restore blood flow.
• Obliterative diseases of the lower limb arteries – chronic conditions where blood supply to the legs is compromised due to vessel blockage. In such cases, reconstructive arterial surgery and bypass procedures are performed to restore normal blood flow and prevent limb loss.
• Venous disorders – including varicose veins and other abnormalities requiring surgical intervention. Treatments in Israel may involve conservative approaches as well as surgeries to remove enlarged veins or to create vascular access for hemodialysis.
• Traumatic vascular injuries – in cases of trauma to the vascular system, emergency interventions may be required. At Ichilov, collaborative surgeries with trauma specialists are performed to quickly and effectively repair damaged vessels.
  

The Vascular Surgery Department at Ichilov Clinic in Israel employs the most advanced diagnostic and treatment methods. One such approach is endovascular surgery, which includes the placement of stents and prostheses, such as stent-grafts, to treat aortic aneurysms. This minimally invasive technique avoids large incisions and accelerates patient recovery.

Additionally, the clinic actively uses techniques such as angiography, balloon angioplasty to widen narrowed vessels, and thrombolysis—the dissolution of blood clots—allowing for effective treatment of acute vascular insufficiency.

Vascular surgery in Israel offers a wide range of treatment options depending on the severity of the disease and the patient’s condition. It is important to note that the choice of treatment depends on numerous factors, including the patient’s age, comorbidities, and type of vascular disease.

The Vascular Surgery Department at Ichilov Clinic not only treats vascular diseases but also actively engages in scientific research. Physicians participate in clinical trials and conduct studies in angiovascular surgery. Moreover, the department trains future specialists through internships and teaching at medical schools.
