Interventional and Vascular Care at UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai
At UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, our Department of Interventional and Vascular is built around timely diagnosis, before an aneurysm ruptures or a limb loses blood supply altogether. As a leading vascular surgery hospital, we provide advanced treatment for vascular diseases with interventional care.
Treatments Offered
Our vascular team treats a range of conditions, including:
-
Varicose Veins
Bulging, twisted veins in the leg, ranging from cosmetic concern to associated pain, swelling, or skin changes.
-
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Claudication, rest pain, and non-healing wounds in the leg or foot, often linked to diabetes or long-standing smoking history.
-
Stroke
Often caused by narrowing or blockage in the arteries supplying the brain; our focus is on identifying and treating the underlying vascular disease to reduce the risk of a first or repeat stroke.
-
Diabetic Foot Problems
Poor circulation and delayed wound healing in diabetic patients, managed jointly with diabetology to prevent progression to limb-threatening infection.
Procedures Offered
Here are the most common procedures offered at UMC Hospitals for vascular surgery in Navi Mumbai:
-
Aneurysm Coiling
For select aneurysms where an endovascular, non-surgical approach is more appropriate than clipping or open repair.
-
Carotid Stenting
As an alternative to surgery in select patients at higher risk of stroke, particularly where anatomy or comorbidities make open surgery less suitable.
-
Stenting
For narrowed or blocked arteries in peripheral vascular disease.
-
Fistuloplasty for a Failed AV Fistula
restoring flow without needing to create a new access site.
-
Permcath Insertion
Placing a tunnelled catheter for patients who need dialysis access while a fistula matures or when a fistula isn't a suitable option.
-
Biliary Drainage
For patients with blocked bile ducts, relieving jaundice and infection risk when a stone, stricture, or tumour is obstructing bile flow.
-
Intra-Arterial Thrombolysis in Acute Limb Ischemia
Delivering clot-dissolving medication directly to the blocked vessel to restore blood flow before tissue damage becomes irreversible.
-
Central Venous Occlusion
Narrowing or blockage in the major veins of the chest or abdomen, often affecting patients with long-term catheters or dialysis access, and treated with angioplasty and stenting to relieve swelling in the face, neck, or limbs.
Diagnostic Services
We choose the required tests based on what the history and examination suggest.
-
Doppler Ultrasound
First-line imaging for both arterial and venous flow, non-invasive and repeatable.
-
CT Angiography
Detailed vessel mapping, particularly before aneurysm repair or bypass planning.
-
Digital Subtraction Angiography
Used when a therapeutic intervention, such as angioplasty, is anticipated in the same sitting.
-
Ankle-Brachial Index
A simple bedside ratio that often tells us more about peripheral arterial disease than patients expect.
Technology and Safety
Procedures are performed in integrated operating rooms equipped for both open and endovascular work, allowing us to shift approach mid-procedure if the anatomy demands it. Disposable instrumentation and strict sterile protocols are followed throughout, since infection risk in vascular surgery carries higher stakes than in most other specialties. Every case is discussed with anaesthesiology in advance, particularly where patients are on long-term blood thinners.
Specialized Care Areas
-
Limb Preservation Program
Patients arriving with non-healing foot ulcers are evaluated jointly with diabetology, since glycaemic control affects healing as much as the vascular repair itself. The goal, wherever anatomy permits, is to avoid amputation.
-
Aneurysm Surveillance
Smaller aneurysms below the threshold for intervention are followed on a scheduled imaging calendar rather than treated immediately, an approach that surprises some patients who expect surgery the moment an aneurysm is found.
-
DVT Management
Treatment is tailored to clot location and risk of complications, ranging from anticoagulation alone to clot-dissolving procedures in more extensive cases, with attention to long-term risk of post-thrombotic swelling.
The Care Journey
The first visit typically includes a detailed history, focused on symptom duration, smoking status, and prior cardiovascular events, followed by a pulse and Doppler examination. Bringing previous ultrasound or CT reports, along with a current medication list, especially anticoagulants, helps us plan the visit more precisely. Vascular surgeons in Navi Mumbai at UMC Hospitals explain the further course of action in detail and recommend imaging if required.

FAQs
-
Is the "keyhole" aneurysm procedure always better than open surgery?
Not necessarily. It depends on the shape and location of the aneurysm - some patients actually do better with the traditional open approach.
-
Do I have to get my varicose veins operated on?
Not always. Many people manage fine with compression stockings and lifestyle changes. Surgery comes into the picture only if there's pain, swelling, or a skin ulcer that isn't healing.
-
Should I be worried about varicose veins?
Not usually. Most varicose veins are more of a nuisance than a danger, though we do check for underlying valve issues if there's swelling or skin changes.
-
Will I need to stay in the hospital for a long time after surgery?
Many vascular procedures, especially endovascular ones, allow discharge within a day or two. Open surgeries naturally need a longer stay to recover safely.
-
Can I fly or travel long distances with a vascular condition?
It depends on what's being treated. Some conditions need clearance beforehand, particularly if there's a recent clot or unhealed wound, so it's best to ask at your visit.
