Vascular emergencies

Vascular emergencies include traumatic and non-traumatic conditions in which the blood supply to vital organs, such as your brain or limbs are cut-off or blocked. It also includes conditions in which a blood vessel ruptures or bursts resulting in life-threatening bleeding. In these cases, it is crucial to maintain the vital blood supply to the various organ systems and thus as a vascular surgeon, Dr Moydien plays a vital role.

A range of conditions may impair circulation, cause disruption of the blood vessel wall with bleeding or occlusion of the blood vessel lumen, leading to a vascular emergency.
