Vascular surgery in Dubai
Vascular System or Circulatory System
The vessels that carry blood and lymph through the body make up the vascular system, often known as the circulatory system. The arteries and veins transport blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrition to human tissues while also removing waste. Lymphatic fluid is carried through lymph veins (it is a clear colorless fluid containing water and blood cells). By filtering and draining lymph away from each region of the body, the lymphatic system helps to safeguard and maintain the body's fluid environment.
What is vascular disease and how does it affect you?
A condition that affects the arteries and veins is known as vascular disease. Vascular illness most commonly impacts blood flow by obstructing or weakening blood arteries or destroying the valves present in veins. Vascular disease can cause organ and other body structures to be damaged as a result of reduced or entirely stopped blood flow.
