Kerry Hitos is a Vascular Surgeon based in Westmead, NSW. The clinic is located at Cnr Hawkesbury And Darcy Rd, Westmead, NSW 2145, Australia. Kerry’s work mainly centres on blood flow and blood vessel problems, which can affect the legs, lungs, and sometimes other parts of the body.
In many cases, Kerry looks after people who have issues like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). These conditions can happen when a blood clot forms and then causes symptoms that need prompt care. Kerry also treats related problems such as superficial thrombophlebitis and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Another part of the work is managing vessel disease over time, including atherosclerosis. This can build up in artery walls and may lead to pain, reduced blood flow, or other complications. Kerry helps patients understand what is going on and what treatment options can be considered, based on how the condition is affecting them.
At times, vascular problems link up with issues in other areas, so Kerry also supports care for complex situations. This can include mesenteric venous thrombosis, where blood flow problems affect the bowel. Kidney transplant patients may also need careful vascular support, especially around circulation and healing. Similar careful attention may be needed after major surgery, depending on the situation.
The type of treatment depends on the person and the problem. Kerry may be involved in procedures such as fasciotomy and endoscopy, and in surgical care for some serious conditions like osteomyelitis and small bowel resection. There are also occasions where treatment needs to be planned around other surgeries, for example mastectomy, pancreas transplant, or procedures related to the abdomen.
Because vascular conditions can change quickly, the approach is usually practical and steady. Kerry focuses on getting the right diagnosis, then planning care that fits the risks and the urgency of each case. If you are dealing with symptoms like leg swelling, pain, sudden breathlessness, or chest discomfort, it’s important to get medical help without delay. Kerry Hitos works to guide patients through that process with clear next steps and calm support.
