The 3rd Vascular surgery Clinic under the Direction of the Vascular Surgeon Dr. Ioannis Tsagkos MD, MSc, PhD(c) has its target the treatment of vascular diseases using the most modern minimally invasive methods (otherwise known intravascular techniques).
The intravascular methods are intended to the safest treatment, faster recovery, and the optimum esthetic effect in nearly all of the vascular diseases, involving either the aorta, the arteries, or the veins. The intravascular methods allow the operation without surgical incisions and use modern tools like the stents, the “balloons” and other specialized tools. They minimize the need for blood transfusion in serious operations and reduce the hospitalization time.
Parallel to these the vascular surgery team staffing the clinic also utilizes the advantages of open (classic) vascular surgery or and the combination of all the methods (hybrid operation) where this is for the benefit of the patient with the same exceptional results.
