An easy way to remember that the prefix con means âwithâ is through the word connect, or join âwith.â A way to remember that it means âthoroughlyâ is through conclude, or âthoroughlyâ close a matter.
Vascular surgery. Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
When it comes to treatments for vascular conditions, there is good news. Many vascular conditions are quite manageable, if you see a physician early. Vascular surgery and procedures are improving all the time, and sometimes no surgery is necessary. For example, in the early stages of peripheral arterial disease, the prescription is just to take regular walks. Read more about treatments on the left.
