Vascular conditions—affecting arteries, veins, and circulation—can have a serious impact on health and daily life. Whether it’s chronic leg pain, varicose veins, or a life-threatening aneurysm, early intervention is critical. Medicas now brings specialist vascular consultations and treatment guidance to Dominica, helping you access expert care without needing to travel abroad.

Through secure online consultations, expert evaluations, and ongoing support, you can take control of your vascular health from the comfort of your home.

Understanding Vascular Disease

Vascular diseases disrupt blood flow and can lead to pain, fatigue, swelling, or even organ damage. In Dominica, common conditions include:

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs.

• Varicose Veins: Swollen, twisted veins that can cause discomfort and lead to ulcers if untreated.

• Aneurysms: Bulging arteries at risk of rupture.

• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in deep veins, often in the legs.

• Chronic Venous Insufficiency: When veins struggle to send blood back to the heart.

• Carotid Artery Disease: Narrowing in neck arteries, increasing stroke risk.

• Raynaud’s Disease and Buerger’s Disease: Vascular spasms or inflammation triggered by temperature or lifestyle factors.

Left untreated, these conditions can lead to chronic pain, disability, or serious emergencies like stroke or limb loss.

Who is at Risk for Vascular Conditions in Dominica?

Vascular diseases can affect anyone, but risk increases with:

• Age (particularly over 50)

• Smoking

• Obesity

• Sedentary lifestyle

• High blood pressure or diabetes

• Family history of vascular conditions

• Prolonged standing or sitting, common in certain occupations

Understanding these risks helps you seek preventive care and take early action before symptoms escalate.

When is Surgery Necessary?

Not all vascular issues require surgery—but when symptoms persist or become life-threatening, surgical intervention becomes critical. This may include:

• Severe varicose veins with swelling or ulcers

• Aneurysms that risk rupture

• Blocked arteries leading to critical limb ischemia

• Carotid artery narrowing with stroke risk

• DVT-related complications that require intervention

A vascular surgeon will evaluate your condition and recommend either minimally invasive or open vascular surgery, depending on severity.

Types of Vascular Surgery Offered Through Medicas

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Smaller incisions, shorter recovery, and less discomfort:

• Angioplasty and Stenting: Open blocked arteries using a balloon and stent.

• EVAR (Endovascular Aneurysm Repair): Fix aneurysms through small groin incisions.

• Thrombolysis: Medications used to dissolve dangerous blood clots.

• Atherectomy: Removing plaque from vessels using catheter-based tools.

Open Vascular Surgery

For advanced cases that require full surgical access:

• Bypass Surgery: Redirecting blood flow around a blockage.

• Aneurysm Repair: Surgically correcting or reinforcing a weakened vessel wall.

• Carotid Endarterectomy: Removing plaque from neck arteries to prevent stroke.

Limb Salvage Surgery

Aimed at preventing amputation, especially in advanced PAD or critical limb ischemia, by restoring blood flow through reconstructive or bypass techniques.

Hybrid Procedures

Combining minimally invasive and open surgery techniques for complex cases to achieve better outcomes.

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery depends on your overall health and the type of surgery performed:

• Shorter hospital stays for minimally invasive procedures

• Physical therapy and movement exercises post-op

• Wound care and monitoring for infection or complications

• Regular follow-ups, either online or in-person

• Lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, quitting smoking, or starting exercise

Medicas also helps you plan long-term care with custom vascular health checkups and expert advice on disease management.
