Common procedures that our patients have on the ward range from revascularisation of critical limb ischaemia, either with medication (such as Heparin or TPA) or surgery, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) repair including EVAR (Endo Vascular Aneurysm Repair), Carotid Surgery to prevent stroke and patients having minor or major limb amputations.
