Best Vascular Surgeon in Pondicherry

Disorders of the blood vessels and organs in the thorax come under the thoracic and vascular medicine department.

The system of blood vessels that carry blood around the body is known as the vascular system and it includes the arteries, veins and the lymphatic system. Any disease that affects the functioning of this system is known as a vascular disease. Several causes could lead to the development of a vascular disease and some of the consequences, such as the development of blood clots, could be very serious or even fatal. Lifestyle changes, exercise, reduction in stress and stopping smoking are among the changes that help in fighting vascular problems. Medication for cholesterol, blood pressure and for preventing blood clots are the common treatments for this condition. Early diagnosis of suspected vascular conditions increases the chances of recovery and the ability to lead a full life.

Thoracic disorders are those that affect the lungs, heart, esophagus, diaphragm, mediastinum and the major blood vessels in the thorax. There are a wide range of possible disorders that stretch from the common acid reflux or heartburn to the life-threatening chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The common thoracic infections include tuberculosis and pneumonia, both major diseases. Thoracic conditions often pass as minor discomforts and in case the condition is a serious one where the symptoms are yet to fully present themselves, the delay in seeking medical assistance in the form of diagnosis and treatment could have very serious consequences.

NMC’s thoracic and vascular medicine department has not only the best doctors but also the most advanced diagnostic facilities and treatment options to provide patients with the best and quickest recovery.
