Vascular Surgery at Korona Clinic
Vascular surgery is one of the priority areas at Korona Clinic. Surgeons perform operations for the treatment of atherosclerosis and varicose veins.
Vascular Bypass Surgery
Vascular bypass surgery restores normal blood flow when arteries are narrowed or blocked due to atherosclerosis.
In cases of atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, plaques form on the artery walls. This can cause severe pain and cramps in the legs, a feeling of cold in the feet and calves muscles, and the skin on the legs may turn pale or bluish. Due to poor blood circulation, wounds may heal slowly.
During the operation, the surgeon uses a segment of the patient’s vein (usually from the leg) or synthetic material to create a bypass (shunt) around the blocked section of the artery.
Treatment of Varicose Veins
Radiofrequency ablation – a minimally invasive method with a quick recovery period. A surgeon inserts a catheter into the vein through a small puncture, which heats and closes the affected vein using radiofrequency energy.
Laser treatment (EndoVenous Laser Ablation, EVLA) – a highly effective and painless method. The laser heats the vein walls, causing them to stick together and close.
BioGlue treatment (VENABLOCK, VENASEAL) – an innovative method using a special glue that seals the vein walls, closing it. Blood flow is redirected to healthy veins. Advantages include painlessness and quick return to normal activity.
Classic open venectomy – an effective method for severe forms of varicose veins. It involves the complete surgical removal of the affected veins through small skin incisions. After the surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for a few days for observation. The recovery period lasts several weeks.
Sclerotherapy – a minimally invasive method for treating small varicose veins and spider veins. A sclerosing agent is injected into the vein through a thin needle, causing the vein walls to stick together and subsequently disappear.

Endoscopy at Korona Clinic in Lviv
Endoscopy is one of the most informative methods for examining internal organs using an endoscope, a special instrument equipped with a camera and light.
Endoscopy allows the doctor to examine the mucous membranes of internal organs and, if necessary, take tissue samples for biopsy. Various types of endoscopic examinations are available at the Korona Clinic:
- Gastroscopy: An examination of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes. It helps detect gastritis, esophagitis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, polyps, and tumors.
- Fibrogastroscopy: It is similar to gastroscopy, but uses a thinner endoscope, reducing discomfort for the patient.
- Colonoscopy: An examination of the mucous membrane of the large intestine. If necessary, the doctor can take a tissue sample for biopsy or remove polyps found during the procedure.
- Fibrocolonoscopy: A type of colonoscopy that uses a thinner and more flexible endoscope (fibrocolonoscope), making the procedure less painful and more comfortable for the patient. It can diagnose polyps and tumors, inflammatory diseases (colitis, Crohn’s disease), diverticula, and more.
