Our role The role of the vascular surgeon is to treat pathologies of the veins and arteries, with the exception of the heart, the proximal segment of the aorta and the brain. We devote much of our time in consultations to screening and considering cardiovascular risk factors. Our very close collaboration with Interventional Radiology and Medical Imaging provides us with rapid access to the diagnostic examinations that are essential in deciding on the best course of action for our patients, whether medical, surgical, endovascular or mixed.    Image Our specialities The Erasmus Hospital Vascular Surgery Department treats the following pathologies:     Arterial disease : Carotid surgery – Endovascular or surgical treatment of the abdominal aorta  – Arteriopathy of the lower limbs, etc. Venous diseases (phlebology), in particular symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs: varicose veins, varicose ulcers, etc. Vascular acrosyndrome. Examples: Raynaud’s syndrome, chilblains, etc. Pathologies relating to coagulation disorders. Examples : thrombophilia, anticoagulation, venous thromboses (clot, pulmonary embolism). Vascular surgeons cooperate closely with their colleagues from the Diabetic Foot Clinic, the Stroke Center (Neurology) and Nephrology, principally in relation to vascular access for dialysis and kidney transplants.

In recent years, embolization of adhesive capsulitis has developed as a new therapeutic approach, reducing inflammation and limiting the blood flow in the pathologic zones. Discover two clinical cases that demonstrate the interest and effectiveness of this approach. Image Adhesive capsulitis, treatment options and the benefits of embolisation Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a pathology that affects between 2% and 10%  of the population (with a slight over-representation of women) and with an incidence that peaks between the ages of 40 and 60. The symptoms develop in stages over several months or years (up to 3 years). There are three discernible stages: a phase of severe pain, stiffness and recovery. The diagnosis essentially rests on clinical criteria and anamnesis. Imaging can assist the diagnosis by revealing certain signs, visible depending on the method used. Despite several treatment options currently available, the pathology can develop slowly, bringing a significant impairment of quality of life and prolonged incapacities.  Embolisation is a mini-invasive approach that makes it possible to reduce pain and improve shoulder movement during the months following the procedure. Discover two clinical cases that demonstrate the interest and effectiveness of this approach, which provides an additional solution to the therapeutic arsenal offered throughout the patient's journey. Read our clinical cases Embolisation as treatment for adhesive capsulitis: an innovative solution now possible at the H.U.B!Brussels, 21 January 2025 – The Department of Interventional Radiology at the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B) is now proposing a promising and minimally invasive new treatment for adhesive capsulitis. Clinical results obtained to date confirm its effectiveness where other treatments have failed, even in the most advanced cases.
