Specialization and Surgical Focus
Dr. Altop treats peripheral vascular disease through endovascular methods. She performs thrombectomies — a procedure to remove blood clots from veins or arteries. She also uses balloon therapy and stenting to open blocked vessels. These minimally invasive techniques help restore blood flow without major incisions.
The surgeon provides care for venous diseases and chronic insufficiency. She performs complete stripping, division, and ligation of the saphenous veins. Dr. Altop also uses modern ablation therapies. These include laser and radiofrequency coagulation to close damaged veins.
For patients with varicose veins, she offers several therapeutic options. These include surgical excision, sclerotherapy, and specialized embolizing agents. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution to shrink the vein. The specialist also treats telangiectasias, commonly known as spider veins, using laser technology.
