Vascular Day Surgery

The vascular surgery team assess and treat patients with problems with the vascular system, that is the arteries and veins.
The vascular surgery service functions in the Trust on a cross-site multidisciplinary basis. We provide outpatient clinics at both Sandwell and City hospitals and day case procedures at Sandwell Hospital. Any patient who requires major arterial interventions are managed at Heartlands Hospital but any clinic appointments are carried out as near to the patients home as possible.
