Adam Wittek is a Vascular Surgeon based in Perth, WA. His practice is located at 35 Stirling Highway, Perth, WA, Australia. He helps people who have blood vessel problems that can become serious if they’re not checked and treated in time.
In many cases, his work involves looking after issues in the big arteries in the chest and the belly. This includes abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and thoracic aortic aneurysm. An aneurysm is when part of an artery wall becomes weak and starts to bulge. It can be slow to grow for a while, but it still needs careful follow up because it can carry risk if it gets larger.
People often come in because of symptoms, or after an X-ray, ultrasound, or scan picks something up by chance. Some patients feel pain in the back, tummy, or chest. Others may not notice much at all until the aneurysm is found on imaging. Adam focuses on making sure the situation is understood properly, including how big it is and how it’s behaving over time.
Treatment can look different depending on the size of the aneurysm and the patient’s overall health. In some situations, monitoring is the plan and scans are organised at the right intervals. In other situations, surgery may be needed to reduce risk. Adam works with patients and their other health teams to plan the next steps, explain what to watch for, and keep things clear and practical.
Because these conditions involve major blood vessels, care needs to be organised and timely. Adam’s goal is to support patients through what can feel scary and uncertain, while also making sure the medical decisions are well thought out. If you’ve been told you have a AAA or thoracic aortic aneurysm, you can expect a calm, grounded approach focused on getting the right treatment at the right time.
For appointments, Adam is available from his Perth rooms at 35 Stirling Highway. You can also ask questions about imaging, follow up, and what results usually mean for your next steps.
