His subspecialty is in minimally invasive vascular, endovascular and endovenous surgery.
He treats varicose veins, spider veins, venous ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency; deep vein thrombosis, May-Thurner syndrome and pelvic vein congestion syndrome; diabetic foot ulcers for diabetic limb salvage; and aortic aneurysms and Type B aortic dissections requiring Endovascular Aortic Repair or Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair.
He also treats peripheral arterial disease and acute limb ischaemia requiring balloon angioplasty, advanced thrombolysis, atherectomy and/or minor amputations; dialysis access, including arteriovenous fistula/graft (AVF/AVG) and advanced laparoscopic/open peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion; excision of lumps and bumps; hernia repair; and gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Dr Tay was a founding surgeon of the vascular and endovascular service at Sengkang General Hospital (SKH).
He graduated from the National University of Singapore, obtained his master’s and became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, UK. He has extensive training in the USA, Australia, South Korea and Thailand.
Dr Tay has mastered various endovascular aortic aneurysm repair techniques including rupture endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, endosuture aneurysm repair, and chimney and parallel graft techniques, among others. He is one of few vascular surgeons in Singapore who can perform minimally invasive saphenous vein graft harvest for arterial bypass.
