Z ultrazvokom ven nog odkrivamo kronično popuščanje povrhnjih ven oz. krčne žile, ugotavljamo mesta nastajanja popuščanja, pacientom svetujemo, kako ukrepati in predstavimo način zdravljenja oz. ocenimo, ali je zdravljenje že potrebno.
With the ultrasound of the leg veins we discover chronic failure of surface veins or varicose veins, establish places of failure, consult with patients about appropriate measures, present the method of treatment and assess whether treatment is still necessary.
Vascular system diseases affect men as well as women. The examination is recommended, if you experience leg problems or swelling or notice the first signs of varicose veins.
When should you decide to undergo an ultrasound of the leg veins?
- If you suspect you have deep vein thrombosis (blockade of the deep vein system due to a clot),
- phlebitis (inflammation of the surface veins),
- leg pain, cramping,
- leg swelling (phleboedema),
- varicose veins,
- as a control check-up during or after anticoagulation treatment due to deep vein thrombosis or phlebitis.
