  1. Vascular Surgery: What It Is? The lymphatic system, which carries white blood cells that fight infections throughout the body, and the vascular system, which consists of both large and small blood arteries, are the focus of the surgical specialty known as "vascular surgery." It's important to keep in mind that vascular surgeons normally don't perform operations on the heart or brain. A healthy vascular system is essential to an overall healthy body. Blood circulates easily throughout the body, supplying the tissues and organs with the oxygen and nourishment they need. Additionally, it sends blood back to the lungs through veins so that extra oxygen can be given in place of carbon dioxide. It can result in issues ranging from minor varicose veins or

The lymphatic system's tissues, veins, and organs transport waste to the liver and kidneys so that they may filter it out of the blood, fight off infection, and maintain the balance of bodily fluids. Infections, obstructions, cancer, and lymphedema—the buildup of fluid in the tissues—are examples of lymphatic difficulties. Differences Between Vascular Surgery and Interventional Radiology There are distinctions in the training, procedures, and conditions that vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists treat, even though they conduct some of the same treatments. Vascular surgeons undergo considerable surgical training. They are able to execute hybrid procedures that combine less invasive endovascular methods with classic "open" surgery. If necessary, a vascular surgeon can change an endovascular operation to an open surgery.
