Services Offered by Dr Anthony Sander

Dr Sander offers a wide range of treatments for vascular conditions, using a combination of minimally invasive techniques, traditional open surgery, and hybrid methods. Each treatment plan is personalised to meet the specific needs of the patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Aneurysms of Peripheral Arteries and Aorta

An aneurysm is an abnormal bulging of the artery due to weakening of the vessel wall. Dr Sander provides comprehensive treatment options for both peripheral artery aneurysms and aortic aneurysms, which may include surgery or minimally invasive procedures to prevent complications such as rupture.

Stroke Prevention

In conditions where there is a risk of stroke due to blocked or narrowed arteries, Dr Sander uses advanced techniques to improve blood flow, reducing the risk of stroke. Treatment options may involve stenting or endarterectomy to clear blockages in the carotid arteries.

Poor Peripheral Circulation (Intermittent Claudication, Gangrene)

For patients experiencing poor circulation in the legs, such as those suffering from intermittent claudication or gangrene, Dr Sander offers minimally invasive angioplasty and bypass surgery to restore blood flow, alleviate pain, and prevent further tissue damage.

Diabetic Foot, Non-healing Wounds, and Leg Ulcers

Dr Sander treats diabetic foot complications, including non-healing wounds and leg ulcers. These conditions are common in patients with diabetes and can lead to serious infections if left untreated. He uses a combination of wound care, surgical debridement, and vascular surgery to address the underlying circulatory problems and promote healing.

Venous Disorders (Varicose Veins, Deep Vein Thrombosis)

Venous conditions such as varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are common and can cause discomfort, swelling, and even more serious complications. Dr Sander offers both endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) and traditional vein stripping procedures to treat varicose veins, as well as management and prevention of DVT.

Dialysis Access Procedures and Management

Dr Sander provides essential services for dialysis access, including the creation and management of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and grafts for patients requiring long-term dialysis.

Congenital Vascular Malformations

For patients with congenital vascular malformations, Dr Sander offers surgical and non-surgical treatment options to manage and correct these conditions, preventing complications and improving quality of life.

In cases of vascular trauma, Dr Sander uses both open surgery and endovascular techniques to repair damaged blood vessels, restoring normal circulation and preventing further harm.
