Synphaet Maravas Vascular Center, Synphaet Ramintra Hospital

Comprehensive vascular disease management with specialized medical teams and advanced therapeutic technologies.

Did you know? Vascular diseases are often referred to as “silent threats” that develop progressively without noticeable early warning signs. The vascular system plays an indispensable role in circulating blood and oxygen to vital organs throughout the body. When vascular abnormalities arise—such as arterial stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysmal dilation—leaving them untreated can result in permanent limb loss. If critical vascular territories such as cerebral or coronary circulations are compromised, life-threatening events can occur within seconds.

Recognizing the vital importance of timely vascular care, Synphaet Ramintra Hospital, in academic collaboration with Mahidol University, established the “Synphaet Maravas Vascular Center.” This partnership brings together specialized clinical expertise and advanced medical technologies to deliver international-standard preventive and therapeutic vascular care. Our dedicated vascular surgeons and multidisciplinary team provide end-to-end management, encompassing cardiovascular risk stratification, precise diagnostic evaluations, pharmacological therapies, endovascular catheter-based interventions, and surgical operations, with personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual patient.

Warning Signs! Symptoms Indicating Potential Vascular Disease

Do not wait until irreversible damage occurs. Monitor yourself and your family closely. If you observe any of the following symptoms, consult a vascular specialist promptly:

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Intermittent claudication (calf or leg pain while walking that resolves with rest), cold feet, numbness, or non-healing foot and toe ulcers.
• Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke): Acute unilateral numbness or weakness, facial drooping, slurred speech (dysarthria), sudden vertigo, ataxia (loss of balance), or visual disturbances.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) & Varicose Veins: Unilateral leg swelling, calf tenderness, prominent tortuous varicose veins, hyperpigmentation around the ankle, or chronic venous stasis ulcers.
• Aortic Aneurysm: A pulsatile abdominal mass, or unexplained deep abdominal and back pain.

Accurate and Targeted Diagnostics with Advanced International Technologies

At Synphaet Maravas Vascular Center, Synphaet Ramintra Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic modalities to ensure rapid and accurate assessments:

• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): Evaluates arterial stiffness and peripheral arterial stenosis by comparing blood pressure measurements between the upper and lower extremities.
• Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: Assesses carotid artery stenosis to evaluate stroke risk and cerebrovascular insufficiency.
• Doppler Ultrasound for Varicose Veins: Evaluates venous hemodynamics and identifies venous reflux in varicose vein disorders.
• Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA): High-resolution CT vascular imaging providing detailed anatomical mapping of vascular lesions.
• Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA): High-definition magnetic resonance vascular imaging performed without ionizing radiation.

Advanced Therapeutic Innovations: Minimally Invasive, Less Pain, Faster Recovery

We prioritize evidence-based minimally invasive therapies to minimize open surgical trauma, reduce blood loss, and facilitate faster functional recovery:

• Foam Sclerotherapy for Varicose Veins: Targeted injection of medical sclerosant foam to collapse diseased veins—non-surgical and performed as an outpatient procedure.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Thermal ablation of varicose veins using radiofrequency energy—scarless, minimally painful, with rapid recovery.
• Balloon Angioplasty & Stenting: Endovascular balloon dilation and stent placement to restore vessel patency and improve blood flow without major open surgery.
• Vascular Access Surgery (AVF & AVG): Arteriovenous fistula and graft creation for chronic kidney disease patients requiring hemodialysis, performed by experienced vascular surgeons for long-term patency and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are vascular diseases exclusive to the elderly?

A: Not necessarily. Individuals with underlying risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or a history of smoking can develop vascular diseases at younger ages.

Q: Is vascular screening necessary if I have no symptoms?

A: If you have cardiovascular risk factors, proactive screening helps detect early vascular abnormalities and prevents severe complications.

Q: Are untreated varicose veins dangerous?

A: If left untreated over long periods, chronic venous insufficiency can lead to skin hyperpigmentation, severe stasis eczema, and non-healing venous ulcers. In severe cases, it increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can cause life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

Q: Does vascular treatment always require major open surgery?

A: No. Modern vascular medicine offers minimally invasive catheter-based interventions and endovascular procedures suitable for many patients.

Q: Who should undergo a vascular health assessment?

A: Aging individuals, patients with chronic medical conditions, or those with cardiovascular risk factors should receive formal medical evaluations.
