Dr. Sajjid Hossain provides expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide spectrum of vascular conditions, including:
Arterial Occlusive and Stenotic Diseases
Dr. Hossain treats disorders of the arteries causing reduced blood circulation due to plaque buildup or other forms of obstruction.
- Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI): Multifactorial management including wound care, revascularization, and risk factor modification.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) / Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD): Narrowing of the arteries primarily supplying the legs and feet, leading to claudication (pain on exertion), rest pain, or non-healing sores.
- Mesenteric Ischemia (Acute or Chronic): Insufficient blood flow to the small intestine, which can be acute (sudden, life-threatening) or chronic (causing abdominal pain after eating).
Aortic and Other Arterial Aneurysmal Diseases
Dr. Hossain's management focuses on monitoring smaller aneurysms and intervening to repair larger or symptomatic ones to prevent catastrophic bleeding.
- Peripheral Artery Aneurysms (e.g., Popliteal, Femoral): Dilations of arteries in the limbs, most commonly the popliteal artery behind the knee.
- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA): May be associated with genetic conditions (e.g., Marfan syndrome) or atherosclerosis.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): Repair (open surgery or endovascular EVAR) is indicated based on size, growth rate, and symptoms.
This list is not exhaustive. For a comprehensive evaluation of your vascular health, a consultation with Dr. Sajjid Hossain is necessary.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Management - Select Interventions: Placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters in select high-risk patients.
- Pre-operative Evaluation for Vascular Surgery: Optimizing medical conditions before elective vascular surgery to improve outcomes.
- Comprehensive Vascular Disease Consultation: Detailed assessment including medical history, physical examination, and review of non-invasive vascular studies.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Management - Surgical & Endovascular: Minimally invasive endovascular procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy for PAD.
- Aortic Aneurysm Repair (Open and Endovascular - EVAR/TEVAR/FEVAR): Complex aortic procedures including fenestrated EVAR (FEVAR) for juxtarenal aneurysms.
- Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory Interpretation (e.g., Duplex Ultrasound): Expert interpretation of ultrasound and other non-invasive tests to diagnose blockages, aneurysms, or venous insufficiency.
Note: This list provides an overview. Specific procedures are determined after thorough consultation with Dr. Hossain.

They use medical therapy, catheter-based interventions, and traditional surgery to improve blood flow and prevent serious complications. a Vascular Surgeon, specializing in the diagnosis and comprehensive management of diseases affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system, utilizing medical, endovascular, and open surgical techniques.
- Does Dr. Hossain create or manage access for kidney dialysis?
- Yes, creating and maintaining vascular access for hemodialysis is a key component of Vascular Surgery. Dr. Hossain is skilled in performing procedures such as creating arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and placing AV grafts, which are essential for patients with kidney failure who require long-term dialysis. He also manages complications related to dialysis access, such as blockages or infections.
- When should I be referred to a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Hossain?
- You might be referred to Dr. Hossain if you experience issues like leg pain or cramping with exercise that resolves with rest (claudication), coldness or numbness in your limbs, visible varicose veins causing discomfort or skin changes, or if an imaging study reveals an aneurysm or significant blockage in your arteries. Any concerns about circulation in your arteries or veins, or problems with a dialysis fistula or graft, warrant consultation with a vascular specialist.
- What is the typical recovery after vascular surgery or an endovascular procedure by Dr. Hossain?
- The recovery period after a vascular intervention with Dr. Hossain depends heavily on whether it's an open surgery or an endovascular (minimally invasive) procedure. Endovascular treatments usually mean a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal activities. Open surgeries, such as an open aortic aneurysm repair, are more extensive and require a longer convalescence. Dr. Hossain will discuss your specific expected recovery timeline.
- What is the difference between endovascular and open surgery, and does Dr. Hossain perform both?
- Open vascular surgery requires a larger incision to expose the blood vessel for repair. Endovascular procedures are less invasive, using catheters and wires inserted through small access points to treat the problem from inside the vessel with balloons or stents. Dr. Hossain is likely proficient in both techniques and will determine the most appropriate method for your situation, considering factors like the location and severity of the disease, and your fitness for surgery.
- What are some common conditions treated by Dr. Hossain?
- As a Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Hossain manages many conditions involving blood vessels. These frequently include blockages in arteries (atherosclerosis) affecting the legs, neck, or abdomen; aneurysms (weak, bulging arteries); problems with veins such as varicose veins or blood clots (DVT); and creating or repairing sites for dialysis access.
