What does Angiology and Vascular Surgery deal with?
Angiology and vascular surgery is the medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the circulatory system, including arterial, venous, and lymphatic.
At Monarka Clinic, we approach vascular pathology with the understanding that:
• Venous and arterial diseases are part of the same vascular continuum
• Many disorders are systemic and progressive, not local or isolated
• Vascular health affects the brain, heart, metabolism, and functional capacity




When should I see a vascular specialist?
We recommend a vascular assessment if you experience any of the following signs or situations:
• Varicose veins, heaviness, swelling or pain in the legs
• Changes in the skin of the lower extremities
• Family history of cardiovascular or vascular disease
• Risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or smoking
• Feeling tired early when walking or cramps
• Preparation or follow-up after vascular surgery
• Interest in cardiovascular prevention and longevity
If you identify with any of these symptoms, we can help by providing a diagnosis and treatment tailored to your needs.

Vascular Surgery and Angiology at Monarka Clinic
At Monarka Clinic, we understand vascular health as one of the silent pillars of longevity, energy, and autonomy. The vascular system — arteries, veins, and microcirculation — is responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and biological signals to every cell in the body. When this system functions properly, the entire body performs better. When it deteriorates, aging accelerates.
For this reason, our Angiology and Vascular Surgery Unit is naturally integrated into Monarka’s 360º medical model, combining prevention, advanced diagnostics, and specialized treatment within a global vision of health.
Vascular health and longevity
Today we know that chronic venous disease and cardiovascular disease share a common pathophysiology based on endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and impaired blood flow.
The state of the vascular system determines:
• Cognitive performance and brain health
• Physical energy and recovery capacity
• Metabolic and hormonal balance
• The rate of biological aging
Taking care of your circulation is one of the most effective strategies for living longer and better.
Varicose veins: more than just a cosmetic problem
Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic issue. They represent a clinical sign of chronic venous disease and a marker of overall vascular risk.
At Monarka Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach that includes:
• Specialized medical evaluation
• Venous hemodynamic study
• Analysis of associated cardiovascular risk
• Minimally invasive outpatient treatments
We apply techniques with scientific evidence and excellent functional and aesthetic results, always within a comprehensive health strategy.
Modern and minimally invasive vascular surgery
Modern vascular surgery allows for the precise and safe treatment of many conditions with reduced recovery times.
At Monarka Clinic, we understand surgical intervention as:
• A therapeutic resource when properly indicated
• Part of a broader medical process
• An opportunity to reorganize the patient’s health
Our goal is to reduce the need for surgery through prevention, and when necessary, integrate it into a comprehensive care plan.
Vascular preconditioning and recovery
Preparing the body before surgery or vascular treatment improves:
• The response to the procedure
• Clinical safety
• The quality of recovery
• Post-procedure physical and emotional well-being
We work on metabolism, inflammation, oxygenation, sleep, and the nervous system so that the body responds in the best possible conditions.
Vascular and brain health
Brain health depends largely on vascular health. Many age-related cognitive declines begin in the brain’s microcirculation.
Therefore, vascular assessment is part of our neurolongevity programs, with the aim of:
• Preserving memory and attention
• Reducing silent vascular damage
• Maintaining long-term autonomy and mental clarity
Monarka approach: circulation within a 360º model
The Vascular Unit at Monarka Clinic works in coordination with:
Longevity and preventive medicine
Neuroscience and neurolongevity
Regenerative medicine
Nutrition and metabolism
Humanistic psychology
Because treating the vascular system is not just about improving circulation, but about protecting the life you want to keep living.

Grandes profesionales, dedicadas , atentas y amables. Y la clínica, una sensación de bienestar y armonía en todo momento.Publicado en Patricia Castellvi23. Diciembre, 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Vull compartir una experiència realment extraordinària a la Clínica Monarka, i molt especialment amb la Dra. Lladó. Feia molt de temps que no em sentia tan escoltada, compresa i acompanyada. Des del primer moment, la Dra. Lladó té una visió holística profunda, entenent no només el símptoma, sinó tot el meu entorn, el meu cos i el meu moment vital. Aquesta mirada global és, sens dubte, el gran valor diferencial de Monarka: necessària, valenta i absolutament avantguardista. La primera fase del tractament ha estat increïble. El resultat de la plasmaferesi ha estat brutal: el cansament extrem que arrossegava pràcticament ha desaparegut i l’energia ha tornat a mi d’una manera que feia molt que no sentia. És un canvi real, tangible i profund. Estic molt il·lusionada per començar la segona fase del tractament i continuar aquest camí de salut conscient i personalitzada. Tant m’ha agradat l’experiència que avui mateix el meu marit inicia la seva primera visita amb la Dra. Lladó. Crec que això ho diu tot. Gràcies, Clínica Monarka, per aquesta manera tan humana, respectuosa i integradora d’entendre la salut. Ens veiem aviat! ✨Publicado en Eulalia sancho planas18.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is angiology and vascular surgery?
Angiology and vascular surgery is the medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the circulatory system, including arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system. At Monarka Clinic, we understand vascular pathology as a systemic process that influences brain, cardiovascular, metabolic, and functional health.
When is it advisable to see a vascular specialist?
A vascular assessment is recommended for symptoms such as varicose veins, heaviness or swelling in the legs, changes in the skin of the extremities, early fatigue when walking, cramps, a family history of vascular disease, or risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or smoking. It is also key for cardiovascular prevention and longevity.
Are varicose veins just a cosmetic problem?
No. Varicose veins are a clinical sign of chronic venous disease and a marker of overall vascular risk. At Monarka Clinic, they are studied from a comprehensive medical perspective, assessing circulation, cardiovascular risk, and the impact on the patient’s general health.
What is the relationship between vascular health and longevity?
Vascular health is one of the cornerstones of longevity. Chronic venous disease and cardiovascular disease share mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation, which influence biological aging, physical energy, cognitive performance, and metabolic balance.
Is vascular surgery always necessary?
No. At Monarka Clinic, vascular surgery is considered a therapeutic option only when clearly indicated. The goal is to prioritize prevention and medical treatment, and to integrate surgery into a comprehensive care plan when necessary.
What is vascular preconditioning and what is it used for?
Vascular preconditioning involves preparing the body before vascular surgery or treatment. It improves clinical safety, response to the procedure, and quality of recovery by addressing aspects such as metabolism, inflammation, oxygenation, sleep, and the nervous system.
How does vascular health influence the brain?
Brain health depends largely on vascular microcirculation. Many age-related cognitive declines originate in the vascular system. Therefore, vascular assessment is an integral part of Monarka Clinic’s neurolongevity programs, designed to preserve memory, attention, and mental autonomy.
What does the first angiology and vascular surgery visit at Monarka Clinic include?
The first consultation includes a detailed medical history, complete vascular examination, assessment of global cardiovascular risk, clear diagnostic guidance and the proposal of a personalized preventive or therapeutic plan within Monarka’s 360º medical model.
