To have an immediate impact on the provision of Endovascular, Vascular, and Wound care services at Bayelsa Specialist Hospital, Yenagoa, Silver Cross Hospital, Abuja and Evercare Hospital, Lagos, Dr. Herbert Oye, an Endovascular and Vascular Consultant from the USA intends to assist with the creation of an Endovascular Centre of Excellence. This can be accomplished by using a hybrid of Virtual and in-person Clinics, minimally invasive Endovascular and open Vascular surgical procedures. Appropriate patient selection will be essential for the best therapeutic intervention results.
To commence a pragmatic program will require identification of common operative procedures that can be performed safely and efficaciously. Some of these procedures include the following:
- Carotid Endarterectomy to prevent strokes
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
- Carotid to Subclavian bypass
- Femoral to Popliteal bypass
- Femoral/ popliteal to distal bypass
- Femoral endarterectomy
- Angioplasty and / or stenting of the carotid artery, subclavian, aorta, iliac, femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries.
- Angioplasty and / stenting of the subclavian, vena cava, iliac: femoral and popliteal veins .
- Thrombolysis of arteries and veins
- Advanced wound care services
- Limb Salvage interventions.
Essential surgical instruments and minimally invasive wires, balloons, and other needed consumables will be provided. It is our hope that a well trained Endovascular and Vascular team consisting of the Endovascular Specialist, Nurses, and Technologists will be ready to transform Vascular care in Nigeria.
Collaboration and cooperation with nationally and internationally recognized organizations such as the Bayelsa Specialist Hospital, the West Vascular Institute, Global Vascular & Wound Care Center, the Edward B. Deithrich Vascular Society, and the International Society of Endovascular Specialists will help promote continued medical education opportunities at these facilities.
Look forward to the opportunity to commence excellent Endovascular / Vascular programs to help transform this specialty landscape in NIgeria.
