Overview

South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Trust Vascular service deliver all aspects of arterial and venous care providing invasive and surgical interventions on the Sunderland site. The team consists of five consultants, three Vascular Nurse Specialists as well as radiologists, anaesthetists, ward staff, secretarial and data support and junior staff. 

For fifteen years Sunderland Royal Hospital has been the inpatient hub site with South Tyneside Hospital being the outpatient spoke site which will remain unchanged in the new trust. 

We offer treatment for:

  • Aortic aneurysms (swelling of the main blood vessel in the stomach). This can be with an endovascular stent (through small incisions in the groin) if suitable or through an open operation. 
  • Carotid disease (narrowing of the neck arteries) This is to clean out the artery to reduce the risk of future stroke. 
  • Peripheral vascular disease. This is the blockage or narrowing of the arteries to the legs or arms causing pain or gangrene. This often requires imaging using an angiogram and can usually also be treated this way. Sometimes it can require bypass surgery and occasionally can end up in amputation. 
  • Varicose veins. These can be treated by foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy 
  • (EVLT) depending on suitability.
