Dr. Venkatesh Reddy

Dr. Venkatesh Reddy is HOD & Consultant - Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, with more than 29 years of experience in vascular surgery. His qualifications include MBBS, MS, FICS, FRCS (Glasgow), FVSI and FVES.

His clinical work covers arterial bypass, angioplasty and stenting, varicose-vein treatment, aortic aneurysm repair and dialysis access. Manipal lists EVLA, MOCA, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal and foam sclerotherapy for venous disease; endovascular aneurysm repair for selected aortic disease; and glue or coil embolisation for vascular malformations.

Dr. Reddy also manages deep-vein thrombosis and diabetic-foot disease, including thrombolysis, thrombo-aspiration, IVC filters, venoplasty, debridement and selected amputation or grafting procedures. His memberships include the Vascular Society of India, Venous Association of India, Association of Surgeons of India and Vascular Society of Karnataka.

For patients seeking vascular review, useful records include arterial or venous Doppler studies, CT angiography, previous angiograms, wound photographs and records of earlier vascular procedures. Treatment depends on symptoms, circulation, anatomy, kidney function, wound status and overall operative risk.

Open surgery and endovascular intervention have different indications, and varicose-vein therapy is chosen after venous mapping. Patients with diabetic foot or dialysis-access problems may need coordinated care with diabetology, nephrology, wound-care and interventional teams before a final procedure is selected. Follow-up planning also considers wound healing, antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy and surveillance imaging after major vascular intervention.
