A vascular surgeon specializes in treating diseases and problems of the arteries and veins, focusing on circulation outside the heart. This is different from a cardiologist, who primarily deals with heart issues. Vascular surgeons, like Dr. Rajiv Nagesetty, use a combination of patient evaluation, imaging, and treatments for venous conditions. These treatments include both minimally invasive procedures and more traditional surgeries. Vascular surgeons not only perform treatments but also continue to follow their patients for long-term care, establishing lasting relationships with them.
