Remote assessment
We review your records and arrange a second opinion from a professor in the relevant field.
Angiology
Arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels: early diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment and follow-up with angiologists at Swiss clinics.
About the specialty
Healthy vessels, healthy organs
Blood vessels nourish every organ and every tissue, so their condition is directly reflected in how the whole body functions. Angiology covers the entire chain: prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
Treatment is based mainly on endovascular procedures: balloon dilatation and stenting. Blood flow is restored through minimal access and with a short recovery, including in the carotid and peripheral arteries.
In the vascular centres of Swiss Medical Network, angiologists work together with vascular surgeons, radiologists and neurologists, with ultrasound diagnostics and angiography under the same roof.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does treatment in Switzerland cost?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of examinations and the programme chosen. We obtain a cost estimate from the clinic and share it with you before treatment begins, with a clear breakdown of what it includes.
Can I get a professor's opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your records and a second opinion from a professor in the relevant field, before any travel is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days, depending on urgency and whether a visa is required.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
A medical interpreter accompanies you to your appointments and remains available throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why come through CorSwiss rather than directly to a clinic?
We are your independent representative and a full-service Swiss medical concierge. We select the best specialist for your case from across Switzerland, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent cost estimate before treatment begins. From there, everything is in one pair of hands: medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation, including for those travelling with you, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical matter. Your personal medical manager guides your case from the first enquiry until you return home, and stays in touch afterwards: we monitor results remotely and coordinate your follow-up.

Angiology in Switzerland offers the full range of medical services for diseases of the blood and lymphatic vessels, including preventive treatment, diagnostics and early detection. CorSwiss works with leading private Swiss clinics specialising in angiology, including Privatklinik Bethanien, Clinique de Genolier, Clinique Générale and Centre Médical Eaux-Vives.
Angiology
This branch of medicine is concerned with the blood vessels (arteries and veins), the lymphatic vessels and the microcirculation (capillaries). An angiologist is responsible for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with vascular disorders.
Symptoms
- Thrombosis
- Varicose veins
- Arterial disease
- Aneurysm and carotid stenosis
- Lymphatic disorders
- Lymphoedema (accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the legs and/or arms).
Blood vessels run through the entire body, reaching every organ and every area of tissue and supplying the substances they need to function. They carry the body’s most vital fluids, blood and lymph, on which all life depends. The condition of every organ and tissue depends directly on the condition of the vessels. That is why the treatment of blood and lymphatic vessel disorders belongs in the hands of proven specialists and physicians.
Our strengths
- Comfortable surroundings for treatment, diagnostics and recovery
- Highly qualified medical staff
