Meet Professor Sherif Sultan: four decades in vascular and endovascular surgery, Chairman of the Western Vascular Institute and President of the International Society for Vascular Surgery.

Degrees, fellowships, appointments, medical registration and society memberships held by Professor Sherif Sultan, consultant vascular surgeon in Galway.

The vascular and endovascular procedures Prof Sherif Sultan specialises in, from one-day carotid surgery to complex aortic repair and limb salvage.

A personal message from Professor Sherif Sultan on why cardiovascular screening matters and what he asks of patients and colleagues in Ireland.

A painless 15-minute ultrasound scan of your aorta, neck arteries and leg circulation at the Galway Clinic. Results explained on the day by a consultant.

A longer life should be a healthier life. Vascular screening finds the silent arterial problems that most often shorten both, while they are still easy to treat.

Vascular screening for sportspeople and active adults, including checks for arterial entrapment, aortic size and the causes of unexplained limb pain on exertion.

Measure your true vascular age with CIMT ultrasound and follow a personalised plan to slow, and in some cases reverse, hardening of the arteries.

The Life Guard Programme uses vascular age testing to detect hardening of the arteries early and build a plan to reverse cardiovascular risk.

Plain-English facts about abdominal aortic aneurysm: who is at risk, why it has no symptoms, how a 15-minute scan finds it and how it is treated.

Diagnosis and repair of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms, including keyhole (EVAR and TEVAR), open and hybrid repair, in Galway.

Emergency and long-term management of aortic dissection, including thoracic stent grafting and complex pan-aortic techniques developed in Galway.

Narrowing of the carotid arteries is a leading cause of stroke. Duplex ultrasound finds it painlessly, and one-day surgery or stenting can prevent the stroke.

Treatment for poor circulation in the legs, from cramping on walking to critical limb ischaemia, including angioplasty, bypass and limb salvage.

Keyhole treatment of varicose veins as a four-hour admission, plus care for deep vein thrombosis, venous insufficiency and swollen legs.

Diagnosis and treatment of narrowed arteries to the bowel, including chronic mesenteric ischaemia, median arcuate ligament syndrome and acute occlusion.

Narrowing of the kidney arteries can cause hard-to-control blood pressure and declining kidney function. Diagnosis and treatment in Galway.

Specialist care for leg ulcers and wounds that will not heal, including compression, Bridge VAC therapy and hyperbaric oxygen medicine.

Adjunct therapies used alongside vascular surgery in Galway, including hyperbaric oxygen for non-healing wounds and balneotherapy for chronic venous disease.

Specialist care and family screening for inherited connective tissue conditions affecting the aorta, including Marfan and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

An evidence-based summary of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and multiple sclerosis, and what vascular assessment can and cannot offer.

How diabetic foot disease is assessed and treated in Galway, following international guidelines, with the aim of preventing amputation.

A plain-English explanation of the difference between a vascular surgeon, a cardiothoracic surgeon and a cardiologist, and which one you need.

A guide to the vascular conditions Prof Sherif Sultan treats in Galway, from aortic aneurysm and carotid disease to varicose veins and leg ulcers.
