Angiology deals with diseases of the blood and lymphatic vessels. There are just as many treatment options for the diverse clinical pictures – with very good chances of success. The specialists at the Glückstadt Hospital use gentle and high-quality therapy methods to enable you to receive the best medical treatment.
Conservative vascular medicine
Conservative vascular medicine
⦁ Treatment of inflammatory vascular diseases (vasculitis)
⦁ Drug treatment of arterial occlusive disease
⦁ Treatment of varicose veins
⦁ Modern wound therapy in the context of wound consultations and inpatient treatment
⦁ Treatment of diabetic foot syndrome
⦁ Treatment of thrombosis on an outpatient and inpatient basis
Operative vascular medicine
Operative vascular medicine
⦁ Creation of vascular access (e.g. port systems and shunt operations)
⦁ varicose vein surgeries
⦁ carotid artery surgeries
⦁ Surgical therapy of occlusions of the brachial arteries⦁ Application of various surgical procedures to improve blood circulation in the legs, including:
– Bypass operations in the abdominal artery, pelvis and leg area
– Bypass operations far into the periphery (e.g. pedal bypasses)
– Thrombendarterectomy with patchplasty
– Creation of vascular interpositions
– Therapy of acute vascular occlusions (e.g. thrombectomy)
– lysis therapy
– Performing hybrid operations (conventional operation +
– interventional measure in one procedure)
– Frequent use of biological vascular substitutes
⦁ Open surgical treatment of abdominal aorta enlargement (AAA)
⦁ Surgical treatment of enlargements of the leg artery
⦁ Open surgical insertion of coated stent prostheses
⦁ Surgical treatment of enlargements of the visceral arteries
⦁ Performing vascular replacement surgery in tumor patients

Interventional vascular medicine
Interventional vascular medicine
⦁ Diagnostic angiographies in all sections of the arterial vascular system
⦁ Interventional implantation of port systems and dialysis catheters
⦁ Insertion of stent prostheses in the abdominal artery (aortic stents)
⦁ Interventions in the area of the carotid artery (stent) to avoid a stroke
⦁ Balloon expansion and stenting in the area of the pelvic and leg arteries for the treatment of claudication and for the treatment of diabetic foot syndrome
⦁ Lysis therapy in acute arterial vascular occlusion
⦁ Balloon expansion for narrowing of dialysis shunts (e.g. cutting balloon)
⦁ Interventional therapy for narrowing of the visceral arteries
Interventional therapy of narrowing of the renal arteries to treat high blood pressure

PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED:
PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED:
Percutaneous Transluminal Balloon Angioplasty (PTA)
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is a procedure that a blocked blood vessel with the help of a small, flexible plastic tubing or catheter with a "balloon" at the end. When the tube has been placed in the right place, it will inflate to reduce the constriction or occlusion and such to open the blood vessel or artery so that normal blood flow is restored.
Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) with paclitaxel
In certain arteries or clinical cases, such as the femoral artery or re-stenosis/re-occlusion, the use of paclitaxel can be beneficial to reduce the risk of further progression of reduce peripheral artery disease.
Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) with cutting and scoring balloon catheter
For severe or complex peripheral artery disease, the use of a cutting balloon (consisting of a balloon with metal blades) and/or a scoring balloon (consisting of a standard balloon surrounded by one or more metal wires) may provide more predictable results.
Percutaneous atherectomy
The use of percutaneous plaque modification using percutaneous atherectomy, in which the atherosclerotic tissue is removed using specially designed rotating tips or burs, and thus the lumen can be restored for optimal blood flow, has proven itself for the treatment of heavily calcified lesions.
Intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of peripheral arterial Diseases with severe calcification
Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a new technique based on an established treatment strategy for kidney stones. Several lithotripsy emitters are mounted on a conventional catheter platform and emit localized, pulsating sound pressure waves in order to extensively change the vascular calcification and thus enable optimal blood flow.
