Introduction to Perth Vascular Clinic
An introduction to Perth Vascular Clinic, led by Consultant Vascular Surgeon Mr Marek Garbowski. Learn about the clinic’s approach to care, the conditions treated, and what patients can expect.
What are the Symptoms of PeVD?
Pelvic venous disorder (PeVD) presents with a range of symptoms that can be difficult to identify. This short video outlines what to look for and when to seek specialist assessment.
What exactly are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that develop when venous valves fail, causing blood to pool in the legs. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options available at Perth Vascular Clinic.
Understanding Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome
Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome is a chronic condition caused by dilated pelvic veins that pool blood rather than drain it efficiently. This video explains how it develops and what it means for patients.
Chronic Pelvic Pain? Watch this!
Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) cause chronic pelvic pain through dilated, faulty veins that pool blood in the pelvis. Learn how Mr Garbowski diagnoses and treats this often-overlooked condition.
What is a Stroke and how can a Vascular Surgeon help?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either through blockage or bleeding. Learn how a vascular surgeon can treat carotid artery disease to help prevent future strokes.
Drug Eluting Balloon Angioplasty
Drug eluting balloons deliver antiproliferative therapy directly to the arterial wall during angioplasty, reducing restenosis rates and improving long-term outcomes for patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Drug Eluting Self Expanding Stent
Drug eluting self-expanding stents combine structural support with local antiproliferative therapy, offering improved long-term patency in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries compared to conventional bare metal stents.
Access for Patients requiring hemodialysis
Reliable long-term vascular access is essential for patients requiring hemodialysis. Arteriovenous fistulas and grafts offer durable access with lower complication rates than central venous catheters, and early referral is key to successful planning.
Treatment of Popliteal Artery
The popliteal artery is a common site for both occlusive disease and aneurysm formation, presenting unique technical challenges. Both endovascular and surgical approaches are available, with treatment tailored to each patient’s anatomy and clinical situation.
GORE VIABAHN Endoprosthesis Animation
Modern endovascular management of aortic aneurysms has significantly reduced perioperative risk and recovery time, with most patients able to go home within days of completing treatment.
Endovascular Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Endovascular repair is the preferred treatment for many patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The approach varies between standard and complex EVAR depending on the location and anatomy of the aneurysm.
Chronic Total Occlusion of Superficial Femoral Artery
Chronic total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery is one of the most common challenges in managing peripheral vascular disease, often requiring advanced recanalization techniques for successful endovascular treatment.
Advanced Endovascular Management of Peripheral Vascular Disease
Advanced peripheral vascular disease can produce long segments of chronically occluded arteries. Sophisticated technologies such as TruePath and FrontRunner allow transluminal recanalization when conventional techniques are insufficient.
Is it Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome
Dr Marek Garbowski discusses when to consider pelvic venous congestion syndrome as the cause of chronic pelvic pain, and how to manage it. A practical podcast guide for GPs and referring clinicians.
