assoc. Prof. PD Dr. Markus Klinger MBA, FEBVS

The clinical specialization of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Markus Klinger's clinical specialization includes the surgical treatment of carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid artery), aortic aneurysms (dilation of the abdominal aorta), occlusive aortic disease, also known as Leriche syndrome, as well as the treatment of circulatory disorders of the leg arteries, known under the medical term PAD (peripheral arterial occlusive disease) or intermittent claudication. A special focus of his surgical work is aortic surgery.

Dr. Klinger has established himself as a specialist in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, whereby his expertise includes both open surgery and endovascular surgical treatment of this serious condition. Another clinical focus for Dr. Klinger is carotid surgery - the treatment of narrowing of the carotid artery. Dr. Klinger offers both endarterectomy and eversion endarterectomy for the treatment of carotid stenosis. Dr. Klinger is also experienced in the treatment of varicose veins (varices) and other venous diseases such as venous compression syndromes.

Dr. Klinger uses minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of varicose veins in order to shorten post-operative convalescence. Another important aspect of Dr. Klinger's practice is the perioperative supplementation of vitamins and micronutrients. It is essential to support the body's biochemistry by using micronutrients such as vitamins and trace elements in a targeted manner, especially during major operations that are stressful for the patient. Especially for patients with vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis or aneurysms, the right micronutrient supply is of crucial importance to support the healing process and convalescence. PD Dr. Klinger also attaches particular importance to preventive medical care for his patients in order to identify and compensate for possible deficiencies at an early stage. A good example of this is the frequently occurring vitamin D3 deficiency in older or chronically ill people, which PD Dr. Klinger treats with targeted supplementation.

Dr. Klinger works closely with internists, anaesthetists and interventional radiologists to ensure coordinated care. The pre- and post-operative care of patients is just as important as the perfectly and precisely performed surgical procedure. In collaboration with his colleagues, he ensures that all necessary examinations are carried out to provide the best possible care. Aftercare is crucial, as many vascular surgical procedures require regular check-ups. PD Dr. Klinger's aim is to offer individual, high-quality treatment based on the latest scientific findings and to promote the long-term health of his patients.
