Do you recognise any of these symptoms?
Your legs are telling you something. Pain when walking, cold feet, slow-healing wounds, these are signs of restricted blood flow. At VenArt Surgery Clinic, we treat peripheral artery disease using minimally invasive techniques. You get back on your feet faster.
- Leg pain or cramps when walking that disappear after rest?
- Cold feet or legs, even in warm weather?
- Wounds or ulcers on your feet or toes that are slow to heal?
- Leg pain at rest, especially at night?
- You have been told you have poor circulation or "furring of the arteries"?
- You have a PAD or peripheral arterial disease diagnosis and need a second opinion?
If any of these apply to you, it’s time to see a vascular surgeon.
How we treat peripheral artery disease at VenArt
We offer both endovascular and surgical treatment options. Our team selects the approach best suited to your condition, anatomy, and overall health. Most procedures are minimally invasive with short hospital stays.
Leg Angioplasty and Stenting
A small puncture, a balloon, a reopened artery. Local anaesthesia, 1-2 days in hospital, rapid return to daily activities.
Hybrid Vascular Procedures
Open surgery and angioplasty combined in a single session. Our internationally trained team delivers complete leg revascularisation in one procedure.
Leg Bypass Surgery
When the blockage is too extensive for an endovascular approach, our surgeons create a new route for blood flow. Durable results for advanced cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send my scans and reports before travelling?
Yes. Send us your Doppler ultrasound, CT angiography or any referral letter by email. Our vascular surgeon will review them and confirm whether treatment at VenArt is appropriate for your case, before you book flights.
How long do I need to stay in Romania?
For a leg angioplasty, plan for 3-4 days in total, including the pre-operative consultation, the procedure and one night of monitoring. For bypass or hybrid surgery, allow 7-10 days.
Is the medical team English-speaking?
Yes. Our vascular surgeons are fluent in English and have trained in international centres. All consultations, discharge summaries and follow-up communication are available in English.
What is the cost of PAD treatment at VenArt?
The cost depends on the type of procedure required and is communicated after reviewing your case. As a guide, endovascular procedures are significantly more affordable than equivalent private treatment in the UK.

Is it easy and affordable to get around Cluj-Napoca by taxi or ride-hailing app?
Yes, and this is one of the practical advantages of choosing Cluj-Napoca for your treatment. Both Bolt and Uber are widely available throughout the city, including at the airport and outside the clinic. Fares are significantly lower than in the UK. A ride from the city centre to the clinic typically costs between £2 and £5, depending on the time of day. Standard taxis are also available and reliable. We recommend downloading the Bolt app before you travel for the most convenient experience.

Yes. Cluj-Napoca has a well-connected public transport network of buses and trams. Our clinic on René Descartes Street is served by several lines with stops nearby. From the central train station (Cluj-Napoca Gară), the journey takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes by tram or bus.
