Pathologies

Vascular diseases involve disorders affecting the function of blood vessels – arteries and veins – which are responsible for transporting blood throughout the body. When blood flow is obstructed or vessels are damaged, serious health problems can arise. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are of crucial importance for the prevention of complications.
Based in Maroussi, vascular surgeon Sotiria Mastoraki responsibly and scientifically manages a wide range of vascular pathologies at her practice:

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Dilatation of the thoracic aorta due to the weakening of its wall which, if not treated in time, can lead to rupture.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Dilatation of the abdominal aorta, often without symptoms, but presenting a risk of rupture and internal bleeding.

Peripheral Artery Disease of the Lower Extremities

Narrowing of the peripheral arteries of the human body, which can cause pain, cramps and, at advanced stages, ulcers or gangrene.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Formation of a clot in the deep veins, usually in the legs, which can cause a pulmonary embolism if the clot moves.

Carotid Artery Stenosis

Narrowing or occlusion of the carotid arteries, which increases the risk of stroke.

Diabetic Foot

A complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by ulcers, infections, and reduced blood supply to the lower limbs.

• Varicose Veins of the Lower Extremities

Dilated and tortuous veins in the legs, causing pain, edema, and aesthetic concerns.
