Mr Vikram Iyer is a qualified vascular and endovascular surgeon offering a range of management options for the full spectrum of vascular conditions. He is equally adept with traditional open surgery and minimally-invasive endovascular treatments, in addition to non-operative strategies to manage vascular disease.
