Vascular surgery<\/b> encompasses<\/span> all treatments aimed at correcting blood circulation disorders in the<\/span> arteries<\/b> and<\/span> veins<\/b> .<\/span> <\/p>\n Arteries can be abnormally dilated, which is called an aneurysm, or narrowed or blocked, which is called stenosis or occlusion. <\/span><\/p>\n Veins may not drain blood properly, leading to abnormal reflux, as is the case in venous insufficiency of the lower limbs and varicose veins, or in pelvic congestion syndrome (pelvic varicose veins). <\/span><\/p>\n When a vein becomes blocked with a blood clot, it is called venous thrombosis. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Thanks to technological advances, vascular surgery interventions are now more<\/span> precise<\/b> ,<\/span> safe<\/b> and often<\/span> less invasive<\/b> , particularly thanks to minimally invasive techniques such as HIFU techniques for the treatment of varicose veins, outpatient embolization for pelvic varicose veins, aortic endoprostheses for aortic aneurysms or carotid stenting.<\/span> <\/p>\n Dr.<\/span> Guilhem Seban<\/b> , a vascular surgeon in<\/span> Annemasse, Haute-Savoie near Geneva<\/b> , practices various venous and arterial surgery techniques, with a particular focus on the<\/span> treatment of varicose veins without anesthesia<\/b> and arterial endovascular<\/b> procedures<\/span> .<\/span> <\/p>\n All pathologies of the lower limbs are treated (arteriopathy, ischemia, popliteal aneurysms, varicose veins). <\/span><\/p>\n The treatment of aneurysms, arteriopathy of the lower limbs and venous diseases (varicose veins of the lower limbs, pelvic varicose veins) are the most frequently treated pathologies. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/dr-seban-chirurgien-vasculaire.com\/en\/contact\/” button_text=”Learn more” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”15px” button_bg_color=”#5382b6″ button_border_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”2px” button_font=”|700||on|||||” button_icon=”5||divi||400″ background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”15px|40px|15px|40px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”middle” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”margbtm20″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dr-seban-chirurgien-vasculaire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/doctolib-atelrie-pic-ten.webp” title_text=”doctolib-atelrie-pic-ten” align=”right” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”48px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”40px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”contain” background_position=”center_left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||10px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||10px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|true|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” header_2_line_height_tablet=”1.4em” header_2_line_height_phone=”1.5em” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Vascular surgery is a surgical specialty that treats diseases affecting<\/span> blood vessels<\/b> (arteries and veins), excluding the heart.<\/span> Vascular surgeons undergo extensive initial training, which continues throughout their careers through ongoing professional development.
