Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear in the legs. They occur when faulty valves allow blood to flow in the wrong direction. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat energy to close the affected vein, redirecting blood through healthier vessels with minimal downtime.
Varicose Vein Treatment Overview
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) occurs when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs. It is most common in the legs and causes pain, cramping, and in severe cases, critical limb ischaemia. Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent amputation and significantly improve quality of life.
PAD — Understanding Your Condition
Palmar hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating of the hands, beyond what is needed for normal temperature regulation. It can significantly affect quality of life, confidence, and daily activities. Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) offers a safe and highly effective surgical cure.
A Portacath is a small medical device implanted under the skin, typically on the chest. It provides reliable, long-term venous access for chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and other intravenous therapies — avoiding repeated needle sticks and protecting peripheral veins.
Understanding Your Portacath
An Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, most commonly in the forearm or upper arm. It is the preferred long-term vascular access for patients on haemodialysis, offering superior flow rates, longevity, and lower infection risk compared to catheters or grafts.
Saving the AVF Lifeline
AVF Vascular Access — Overview Infographic
The carotid arteries supply blood to your brain. When narrowed by fatty deposits (atherosclerosis), they can cause a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke. Early detection and treatment significantly reduces stroke risk.
Carotid Artery Disease — Patient Guide
An AAA is a swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel from your heart to your abdomen. Most cause no symptoms but can be life-threatening if they rupture. Screening and early detection save lives.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm — Patient Guide
When peripheral arterial disease (PAD) causes severe symptoms or threatens your limb, surgery may be needed to restore blood flow. Options include angioplasty (balloon/stent) or bypass surgery.
