Dr Gustavo Andrade is a Medical Specialist & certified by the Mexican Council of Angiology, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Phlebology, Circulation and Vein Diseases in the city of Tijuana. As well as in the following conditions:
1. Treatment of Varicose Veins (Chronic Venous Disease).
2. Deep vein thrombosis (Venous thromboembolic disease).
3. Arterial insufficiency or lack of circulation (Peripheral Arterial Disease).
4. Diabetic Foot (Gangrene, ulcer necrosis in diabetic patients).
5. Acute arterial insufficiency (Due to embolism and other causes).
6. Abdominal aortic aneurysms and aneurysms of other peripheral arteries.
7. Treatment of chronic wounds and varicose ulcers, traumatic ulcers, infectious ulcers, immunological ulcers.
8.- Carotid disease and resection of carotid body tumor (Carotid glomus paraganglioma).
9. Vasospastic diseases such as Buerguer's disease, Raynaud's disease, Takayazu's disease.
10. Vascular Trauma (Repair of injuries to arteries and veins due to accidents, projectiles from firearms, sharp weapons)
11. Vascular access for hemodialysis, chemotherapy and others. Placement of catheters always guided by ultrasound, creation of fistulas for hemodialysis.
12. Diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations such as hemangiomas.
1. Sclerotherapy for varices.
2. Laser surgery for varicose veins.
3. Venous thrombectomy for acute deep vein thrombosis.
4. Pharmacomechanical thrombectomy for deep vein thrombosis.
5. Ultrasound-guided thrombolysis for deep vein thrombosis.
6. Placement of a vena cava filter to prevent pulmonary thromboembolism.
7. Bypass surgery to restore arterial circulation through a bridge or By-pass.
8. Endovascular treatment or catheterization to unclog the arteries and restore circulation when the patient has arterial insufficiency or lack of circulation.
9. Open embolectomy when the patient has a thrombus or embolism that covers or occludes arterial circulation and threatens the limb (urgency).
10. Performing a diagnostic ultrasound (all our patients are evaluated from the first consultation with a vascular ultrasound).
11. Performing diagnostic and therapeutic arteriography (balloon angioplasty, stent placement and embolizations for malformations and embolizations prior to surgery and avoiding intraoperative bleeding).
12. Placement of catheters with reservoir for chemotherapy, placement of catheters for hemodialysis (we place all our catheters guided by ultrasound, which makes them safer, more comfortable, faster and less painful).
13. Treatment and healing of chronic wounds such as venous, traumatic or mixed ulcers.
14. Salvage of limbs in case of diabetic foot healing, minor amputations and only if necessary major amputations (our mission is not to remove, to remove at least one foot and to preserve the limb and the patient's gait as much as possible) .
15. Emergency surgery in case of vascular injuries due to accidents, projectile wounds or sharp weapons.
16. Medical treatment for cellulitis or erysipelas infections in the lower extremities.
17. Treatment of Lymphedema.
18. Assessment and treatment of Raynaud's disease and Buerguer's disease.
19. Treatment with intermittent compression therapy for edema (swelling) of any origin in the lower extremities.
Among the most frequent conditions we find chronic venous disease known as varicose veins, varicose ulcer, deep vein thrombosis, chronic arterial insufficiency, acute arterial insufficiency and diabetic foot.
