EVERY HOUR, 80 GALLONS
(300 LITERS) OF BLOOD
are pumped through the 60,000 miles (96,000 kilometers) of our arteries and veins.

If our arteries and veins were laid end-to-end, they could circle the Earth more than twice. That's how marvelously we are made, and how vast and complicated the vascular system is.
 
THE SUB-SPECIALTY OF MEDICINE that treats the diseases of arteries and veins is called "vascular medicine." A branch of vascular medicine that treats only the veins is called "phlebology."
 
Arteries and veins can be treated with: "watching-and waiting," with medicines, with non-surgical ("endovascular") procedures, and/or with surgery.
 
The more experienced the vascular specialist is, the better he is able to choose the best approach for you.
Our body has 60,000 miles of "highways" — made up of our arteries (red) and veins (blue), together with their connecting capillaries.
