Angiopathy

The amyloid angiopathy or vascular cerebral angiopathy is a neurological pathology characterized by the accumulation of amyloid protein in the walls of cerebral vessels, causing an increased risk of stroke. Clinically, the disease manifests the affected vessel rupture occur, causing ischemia of brain tissue bathed by this. Symptoms that produces bleeding depend on the affected part, but the most common are: drowsiness, headache, double or reduced vision, slurred speech, muscle weakness... Currently, there is no cure for this condition, so the basically treatment should be directed at reducing symptomatology. ...

Arteriovenous fistula

Arteriovenous fistulas are abnormal connections between arteries and veins, causing a lack of oxygen to the lungs. Normally, blood flows through the arteries and then returns to the heart through the veins, but when there is an arteriovenous fistula, some blood flow passes directly from the artery to the vein. Thus, tissues do not receive enough oxygen without reaching capillary circulation, whereby the affected tissue oxygenation may be poor. A major cause of this disease is the abnormal development of blood vessels in the lung. Those who suffer from hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (genetic disorder involving malformation of blood vessels) are more likely to be exposed.   ...

Atherosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis is the most common disease of the arteries. Is a hardening, thickening and loss of elasticity of arteries. Several factors may be involved in the etiology of atherosclerosis are known, such as: pathologies such as cholesterol or blood pressure; factors related to sex, heredity, ethnic, snuff consumption, sedentary lifestyle, stress nerve…All these factors seem to play a very important role in the appearance of this pathology.

This type of surgery is indicated when the blockage of the carotid is a considerable degree, normally if through various medical tests it detects that the artery has narrowed 50%. Clinically manifested by numbness, tingling, confusion, muscle weakness ... Although endarterectomy can prevent the onset of a stroke, it would not be indicated for patients who suffer TIAs (transient vascular accident). ...

Diabetic Foot

  The diabetic foot is a complication of vascular and nervous level that affects patients with chronic diabetic control irregular sugar levels. The effect on vascular level may lead to arterial closure with loss of blood supply to the feet, and even get to cause gangrene. Besides, a neurological level, involvement can be motor and / or sensitive. Feature is the feeling of wearing a tight or excessive cold or heat sock, and the loss of muscle mass at foot level. Both causes, vascular and neurological, are responsible for the appearance on the floor of the neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer, which often can be complicated by infection.

Embolism

  Embolism means embedding a foreign body or plunger (blood clot, fat droplets ...), which travels through the bloodstream through the vessels, until it enters one of its dimensions lower caliber cause clogging. As a result, ischemia occurs in the area of the affected vessel. There are several clinical forms of stroke: ischemic stroke, in which the obstruction affects a cerebral vessel and is manifested by a more or less severe symptoms of stroke; pulmonary embolism, pulmonary artery occlusion which may result in non-functioning part of the lung, or in severe cases the instantaneous death; embolism of central retinal artery, which can lead to blindness in the affected eye. ...

Lymphedema

Lymphedema is an excessive accumulation of a protein called lymph in a limb, caused by an alteration of the lymphatic system (immune system that helps fight infection and disease). The accumulation of this substance in the tissues produces edema and chronic swelling of one or more parts of the body especially in your arms or legs.

Currently, there are two lymphedema surgery procedures that solve successfully pathology: microsurgical transfer and lymph node-venous shunt microsurgical. The first technique involves the removal of healthy lymph with blood vessels elsewhere in the body, such as the superficial inguinal area, and its placement in the armpit. Thus, the transferred vessels create a new drainage system and reduce the accumulated lymph. Moreover, surgery microsurgical lymph-venous shunt is based on binding of superficial lymphatic vessels subcutaneous veins of the affected limb. Thus, it is possible to divert the lymph veins to download area lymphedema. ...

Phlebectomy

  Phlebectomy is a surgical technique for removal of varicose veins, performed through small incisions (less than 2mm) into the skin of the area concerned. The procedure involves introducing a hooked instrument with which the varicose segments are extracted. Recovery will depend on the number and size of the vein, but in general, the patient will need two or three days to resume normal activity and shall keep elastic compression stockings for approximately two to four. With the technique of vein stripping is improved circulation in the area of the varicose vein relieving common symptoms they cause, such as pain and heavy legs usually manifest. ...

Placing Port-a-Cath (Cath)

The catheter is a tube inserted into a patient's body cavity and used in subministración of drugs or fluids or foods for ejecting body, fluids such as urine. A catheter ranking is based are based on whether external or subcutaneous, below the skin. Among them, there are vascular access devices or intravenous catheters, urinary drainage catheters and chest tubes. The application of a catheter externally is the implementation of one of the ends in a large vein located near the heart, superior vena cava. Moreover, by subcutaneous way catheters are inserted under the skin completely, also standing on a large vein. ...

Thrombosis

  A venous thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a vein, which may be due to a problem with hypercoagulation, injuries to the vessel wall or a problem of ecstasy (stagnation) of blood. Two types of thrombosis and thrombophlebitis the flebotrombosis. The first is the formation of a clot within the vein without inflammation but great peelability, since it is poorly bonded to the vessel wall. Usually affects the deep venous system and can even cause a pulmonary embolism. For thrombophlebitis, usually attached to the vein wall and is clinically manifested as a palpable cord, hard, pain, heat and redness in the area of the affected vessel. The treatment in this case is usually based on anti-inflammatories or antibiotics.

Treatment should be for pain and inflammation and prevent new phlebitis occur in the future. Specialists will advise on immobilization, apply compresses twice a day for half an hour and taking anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling. In those cases where also there is indicated infection taking antibiotics. ...

Vascular malformations

It's a birthmark or a congenital malformation that is made up of veins, capillaries, arteries and lymph vessels. There are different types of vascular malformations that differ in function of the affected blood vessel. Are persententes from birth and increase its size parallel to the birth of the child. ...

Vasculitis

  Vasculitis means inflammation of blood vessels. It can affect both arteries and veins. For inflammation affect the second called phlebitis, whereas if the damage is in the arteries is called arteritis. The classification of these clinical pictures is performed according to the size of the affected vessel, the severity of lesions, the type and the cause infiltration process. The causes of vasculitis can be infectious, immunologic or cause, often for no apparent reason. Clinical manifestations appear depending on the location of the affected vessel: a cutaneous level (ulcers), kidney and genital level (hypertension), a neurological level (headaches), and bone and joint or muscle level (joint pain). In any case, treatment should be swift and adapted to each pathology and patient. ...

Venous insufficiency

  It means venous insufficiency difficulties in the venous return of blood flow through the veins, either by the presence of a stenosis in the vessel, by an insufficiency of valves therein, or because they have lost the elasticity of its walls, expanding and leading to varicose veins. Risk factors that predispose to this disease are obesity, age, genetic factors, multiple pregnancies, remain standing long hours ... Venous insufficiency is manifested by symptoms such as itching, redness of the skin at the ankles and distal part of the foot, swelling, discoloration in the area, superficial varicose veins and leg ulcers, among others. Treatment consists of the use of elastic stockings and avoid spending long hours in one position, and other factors that predispose to its formation. If these measures prove insufficient, the drug treatment will be necessary and / or surgery. ...

Venous ulcer

  Venous ulcers arise after a skin lesion produced in the long wall of a varicose vein venous blood stagnation or insufficient nutrition of the skin. The most common cause in adults is venous insufficiency usually affects the inside of the leg, while arterial ulcers often affect the external side. To prevent their occurrence is important taking preventive measures, especially those with a predisposition to dilated veins: make a careful foot care, maintain extreme cleanliness, ensuring good skin hydration ... The ulcer treatment once formed will depend upon the case, but will usually indicated reduce edema or swelling that cause and the pressure in the veins. Moreover, it should protect the area with a bandage to prevent infection, which should be treated with antibiotics. ...
