It is a specialist who is named angiologist that practices it.
Only this Doppler is able to measure the size of varicose veins, to clarify the meaning of movement and locate the leakage points which confirms, the incontinence of the varicose vein,
The indication of a thoughtful and appropriate treatment can be performed after the doppler-ultrasound,
This treatment will be adapted on the mapping of varicose veins that will be displayed on a diagram. This card will show the direction of flow in the veins (up or down and, of course, the precise location of leakage points)
This mapping or tracking is essential and must be done at all stages:
– Before treatment choice to locate the leak points and guide treatment (sclerosis, endovenous laser, or varicose vein surgery.)
– It will be practiced before or the morning of the endovenous laser or varicose vein surgery to guide the surgeon’s by venous mapping (just as plans for an architect).
This Doppler ultrasound tracking will show the positional anomalies of varicose veins that are very common and can lead to relapse if they are not localized.
– It will guide the surgical procedure, not to forget because varicose veins are not all visible to the naked eye; of course it can practice aesthetic scars puntiformes (as they have been well guided by locating)
– It will also be performed after the operation of varicose veins, to control the surgical procedure, that is to say, check that all the veins have been removed.
