Not quite a bubblegum pop, but this is how an aorta can suddenly rupture due to increased pressure.

The wall of the aorta can become weak due to various factors, including:
- Atherosclerosis: Buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries can damage the aortic wall.
- Genetic Factors: Certain inherited conditions can predispose individuals to weaker arterial walls.
- Infection or Inflammation: Conditions like syphilis or vasculitis can affect the aorta.

As blood flows through the aorta, increased pressure can exacerbate any existing weaknesses, leading to a dilation or bulging of the vessel.

Over time, the weakened area can expand further, potentially leading to a rupture if not monitored or treated.

Timely screening and awareness of personal risk factors can significantly reduce the risk of sudden aortic rupture. If you are at risk, do contact us at +65 6694 6270 for appropriate screening.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a chronic condition that primarily affects women, caused by varicose veins in the lower abdomen or pelvis. This occurs when the valves in the veins weaken and fail to close properly, leading to backward blood flow and pooling. This pressure can result in pain in the uterus, ovaries, and v***a.

Treatment for PCS is Ovarian vein embolization which is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. A thin catheter is inserted into the femoral vein in the groin and guided to the affected vein using fluoroscopy. Tiny coils and a sclerosing agent are then placed in the vein to close it off. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately afterward. This procedure offers several advantages: it relieves symptoms and pain without requiring general anaesthesia or a hospital stay.

If you suspect you have PCS or are experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact us at 0368866868 to schedule a consultation with our vascular specialists for proper evaluation and treatment.

Varicocele refers to the enlargement of veins within the sc***um, which can impact fertility and cause discomfort. Treatment options for varicocele include:

Varicocele embolization, a minimally invasive procedure performed by a vascular specialist. This treatment involves blocking blood flow to the affected vein(s), causing the varicocele to shrink and eventually disappear.

Benefits of Varicocele Embolization:
• No general anesthesia required (only local anesthesia)
• No surgical scarring
• Lower risk of infection
• No overnight hospital stay (same-day procedure)
• High success rate
• Faster recovery time

This procedure offers a safe and effective solution with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of varicocele or have concerns about your fertility, reach out to us today at +65 6694 6270 to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options.

Break a leg, but we would rather save a leg.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a disease that affects the blood vessels in the limbs where blood circulation is restricted due to blockage of the arteries. In severe cases of PAD, when blood flow to the affected limb is critically compromised and other treatments have failed, amputation may become necessary.

Understanding the risk factors for PAD is crucial for early detection and prevention:
Q1: Are you a smoker?
Q2: Have you been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure and/or high cholestrol?
Q3: Do you have a family history of cardiovascular diseases?

By adopting a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions, and seeking regular medical care, you can reduce your risk of PAD and improve your overall vascular health.

It really is as simple as plug and play. Venous leaks causing erectile dysfunction can be 'plugged' by small embolic agents (like coils or glue) to block these problematic veins. This prevents blood from leaking out of the p***s and helping to maintain an er****on.

Take control of your erectile health today and explore the simple, effective solution of embolisation to restore your confidence and improve your quality of life.

Can you spot the symptoms of DVT?
- Swelling: Often in one leg.
- Pain: A cramping or soreness, typically in the calf.
- Red or discolored skin: Over the affected area.
- Warmth: The area around the clot may feel warmer than surrounding skin.

The most serious complication of DVT is a pulmonary embolism (PE), which occurs when a clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, potentially causing severe health issues.

If you suspect DVT it is crucial that you seek medical attention promptly.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in older men that causes symptoms like poor urine flow, frequent urination during the day and night, incomplete bladder emptying, and a sudden need to urinate. Oral drugs may be used to treat this condition, although they may not always provide complete relief from symptoms. The Vascular & Interventional Centre offers minimally invasive treatment for BPH that avoids complications like bleeding, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction as well as restoring good urinary flow.

Treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) depends on several factors:
(1) Size of the aneurysm
(2) Symptoms presented
(3) Overall health of the patient.

Some of the main treatment options include monitoring, lifestyle modifications, medications and surgical intervention.

Surgery is typically recommended for larger AAAs (usually over 5.5 cm) or if symptoms are present.

The main surgical options are:
a. Open Surgical Repair
- Procedure: The abdomen is opened, and the aneurysm is directly repaired. The damaged section of the aorta is removed and replaced with a synthetic graft.
b. Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)
- Procedure: A minimally invasive option where a stent graft is placed inside the aorta through small incisions in the groin.
- Benefits: Shorter recovery time, less pain, and reduced risk of complications compared to open surgery.

The choice of treatment for AAA involves careful consideration of the aneurysm's size, growth rate, and the patient's overall health. If surgery is necessary, both open repair and endovascular repair are effective options, each with its own benefits and risks.
