Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA)
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulging section of the main blood vessel running through your abdomen. Early detection is essential, as a large aneurysm can be life-threatening without timely specialist treatment.
Aching Legs
Persistent leg aching or discomfort can point to an underlying vascular condition such as varicose veins, poor circulation or deep vein thrombosis. Getting the right diagnosis is the first step to lasting relief.
Amputations
In advanced cases of diabetic foot disease or severe peripheral vascular disease, amputation may be required to remove damaged tissue and protect the surrounding healthy areas of the limb.
Aortic Aneurysms, Aortic Dissections & Peripheral Aneurysms
Aneurysms are areas where blood vessels weaken and bulge outward. Whether in the chest, abdomen or peripheral arteries, early specialist care is the key to preventing life-threatening complications.
Aortic Dissection
Aortic dissection is a serious condition where a tear in the inner wall of the aorta allows blood to force the layers apart. It requires urgent specialist assessment and prompt treatment.
Arterial Ulcers
Arterial ulcers are wounds on the leg or foot caused by poor blood supply from peripheral arterial disease. Unlike venous ulcers, they will not heal with dressings and compression alone: the underlying arterial blockage must be treated first. Perth Vascular Clinic offers full assessment, ABI testing, angioplasty, stenting and bypass surgery.
Carotid Artery Disease/Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA) and Strokes (CVA)
Carotid artery disease occurs when the arteries in your neck become narrowed by plaque, significantly raising your risk of stroke. Warning signs include sudden weakness, vision changes or difficulty speaking.
Central Venous Access
Central venous access devices allow healthcare teams to deliver medications, chemotherapy or draw blood through a single reliable access point. Dr Garbowski specialises in fitting both long-term and short-term devices.
Chronic Leg Swelling
Persistent leg swelling can result from venous insufficiency, lymphoedema or conditions affecting the heart, kidneys or liver. Early specialist assessment helps identify the cause and prevent long-term complications.
Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is excessive, uncontrollable sweating most commonly affecting the armpits, hands or feet. Treatments range from non-surgical options through to permanent surgical solutions that can restore your confidence.
Pelvic Venous Disorders (Pelvic Congestion Syndrome)
Pelvic venous disorders cause chronic pelvic pain due to enlarged, poorly functioning veins in the pelvis. This frequently under-diagnosed condition is treatable with minimally invasive procedures that provide lasting relief.
Peripheral Aneurysms
Peripheral aneurysms are bulges in arteries outside the aorta, most commonly behind the knee or in the groin. They can form blood clots that block circulation to your limbs, making timely treatment important.
Peripheral Vascular Disease and Arterial Ulcers
Peripheral vascular disease is reduced blood flow to your legs caused by narrowed arteries. It can cause cramping pain when walking and, if left untreated, may lead to non-healing ulcers or serious complications.
Reno-Vascular Hypertension
Reno-vascular hypertension is high blood pressure caused by narrowed kidney arteries. Minimally invasive procedures can restore normal blood flow to the kidneys and bring blood pressure back under control.
Restless Legs (RLS)
Restless legs syndrome causes an uncomfortable urge to move your legs, particularly at rest or during sleep. A range of treatment options can significantly reduce symptoms and help you sleep better.
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (TAA)
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a weakened, bulging section of the aorta in your chest. Regular monitoring and timely specialist treatment can greatly reduce the risk of serious complications.
Ulcers
Foot and leg ulcers are wounds that struggle to heal, most often linked to diabetes, poor circulation or venous insufficiency. Specialist vascular assessment and targeted treatment help prevent serious outcomes including amputation.
Upper Limb Occlusive Disease
Upper limb occlusive disease is narrowing of the arteries that supply your arms, affecting circulation and sometimes causing a difference in blood pressure between arms. Treatment restores normal blood flow and relieves symptoms.
Varicocele
A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins in the legs. It can cause discomfort and may affect fertility, but minimally invasive treatment is available.
