Individuals who require the assistance of a vascular surgeon are those experiencing problems with their circulation, including issues related to leg pain, ulcerations on their lower extremities, aortic aneurysms, blockages in their carotid arteries, stroke, or venous disorders such as deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and venous insufficiency.
