Venous diseases, particularly varicose veins, are one of the most common medical conditions affecting the lower extremity. These can never be completely cured but require regular follow-ups and treatment. Diagnostic ultrasound is the commonly used modality to spot a venous thrombosis or any vascular insufficiency in the lower limbs. It is not only a tool for diagnosis but can also be a therapeutic intervention. Ultrasound following ablation of veins reduces the chances of a thrombus being formed.
Thus, it can be said that ultrasound and venous diseases are complimentary when it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of vascular inefficiencies. Join us for an exclusive VAI MasterSeries session with Dr. Wassila Taha , where she will discuss “Ultrasound and Venous Disease: The Inseparable Couple” on 3 rd June 2022, 6 PM IST & 2:30 PM EET.
