Visit the Vascular & Diabetic Foot Laboratory → Call to confirm the investigation, preparation and appointment time.

WHEN TO SEEK URGENT HELP

Do not wait for a routine appointment.

Go to the nearest emergency department for a suddenly painful, cold, numb or weak limb; uncontrolled bleeding; sudden breathlessness or chest pain, especially with a swollen leg; or a rapidly worsening foot infection with fever or feeling very unwell. Blackening tissue also needs urgent assessment.

YOUR CARE TEAM

Specialist assessment, shared planning.

Dr. Siddharth Matad — Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon
Dr. Naveen Chandrashekhar — Vascular & Interventional Radiologist

Bring previous scans, prescriptions, blood-test reports and details of any procedures. We will discuss suitable options, alternatives, benefits and risks, and whether care belongs at the centre or a partner hospital.

QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CARE

Vascular care: your questions answered.

What is the care approach at Advitiya Vascular Centre?

Advitiya Vascular Centre in Jayanagar, Bengaluru brings together Dr. Siddharth Matad — Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon and Dr. Naveen Chandrashekhar — Vascular & Interventional Radiologist. The approach connects clinical assessment, appropriate diagnostic testing, treatment planning and follow-up, with input from both specialties when the condition requires it.

How can a vascular surgeon and an interventional radiologist work together?

Their areas of expertise overlap and complement each other. They can review symptoms, examination findings and imaging together, then discuss medical treatment, wound care, image-guided procedures, endovascular treatment or open surgery as appropriate. This helps build a plan around the diagnosis, anatomy, overall health and the patient’s priorities. Having two specialties available does not mean that every patient needs a procedure.

Will both doctors see me at every appointment?

The involvement of each specialist depends on the clinical problem and the care needed. Some consultations can be managed by one specialist; other cases may benefit from joint review or coordinated treatment. When booking, ask the centre whether a joint consultation is appropriate and confirm appointment arrangements and fees.

How are vein conditions assessed and treated?

Vein care starts with identifying the cause of symptoms such as visible varicose veins, swelling, skin changes or ulcers. Venous duplex ultrasound may help assess reflux, clots or obstruction. Depending on the diagnosis, options may include compression, medicines, wound care, sclerotherapy or endovenous treatment. A painful or newly swollen leg needs prompt assessment rather than an assumption that it is a simple varicose-vein problem.

How are reduced arterial circulation and blocked leg arteries managed?

Arterial care combines assessment of symptoms and circulation with tests selected for the clinical question. Treatment may include medicines, management of risk factors and an appropriate walking programme, or a procedure to restore blood flow. Angioplasty, stenting or bypass surgery is considered according to the blockage, symptoms, wound status and overall health. A suddenly painful, cold, numb or weak limb requires emergency hospital assessment.

Which conditions may benefit from interventional radiology?

Interventional radiology uses imaging to guide selected diagnostic and treatment procedures. Consultation areas include vascular malformations, fibroids, varicocele, bleeding, selected cancer-related interventions, image-guided biopsies and drainage, and certain biliary or urinary obstructions. The specialist assesses suitability and coordinates with other treating teams. Advanced procedures are arranged at hospitals with the required facilities.

Why does diabetic-foot care need more than a dressing?

A diabetic-foot wound may involve poor blood supply, infection, loss of protective sensation and pressure on the foot. Assessment looks for these contributing factors so treatment can address them together. Care may include dressings, suitable debridement, offloading, diabetes management and restoration of blood flow when indicated. Other specialties are involved when needed; healing depends on the condition and cannot be guaranteed.

Which tests help diagnose vascular and diabetic-foot problems?

The Advitiya Comprehensive Vascular & Diabetic Foot Laboratory covers enquiries for venous and arterial Doppler / duplex ultrasound, ankle–brachial index (ABI), neuropathy and vibration testing, and plantar-pressure assessment. These answer different questions about circulation, sensation and pressure. A clinician selects and interprets the tests; ABI alone may not fully explain symptoms in every patient. Confirm test availability and preparation when booking.

Does a consultation mean I will need surgery or an intervention?

No. The diagnosis and severity of the condition guide whether a procedure is needed. Medicines, compression, wound care, pressure relief, risk-factor management or observation may be appropriate in selected cases. When a procedure is advised, the discussion should cover its purpose, alternatives, risks, expected recovery and follow-up.

Are all treatments performed at the Jayanagar centre?

No. Advitiya’s Jayanagar centre provides outpatient assessment, appropriate clinic care and follow-up. Major surgery and advanced endovascular or image-guided procedures requiring operating-theatre, inpatient or other hospital facilities are coordinated at partner hospitals. The treatment plan should make clear where each part of care will take place.

Can I discuss an existing diagnosis or obtain a second opinion?

You can contact the centre for an assessment of an existing vascular or diabetic-foot concern. Bring previous scan images and reports, blood-test results, prescriptions, procedure notes and wound-treatment records when available. Explain your symptoms and treatment goals. Previous findings can inform the assessment, although additional examination or testing may still be needed.

How do I arrange a consultation in Jayanagar, Bengaluru?

Call +91 96327 83001 to discuss the concern and arrange a consultation at Advitiya Vascular Centre, No. 99, 6th Main Road, 40th Cross, Jayanagar 5th Block, Bengaluru. Tell the team whether the enquiry concerns veins, arterial circulation, interventional radiology or diabetic-foot care, and ask which reports to bring. For an emergency, seek immediate hospital care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
