Varicose Vein treatment in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Birmingham and Manchester - Varicose Veins removal, Minimally Invasive Therapy, EVLT in Stoke-on-Trent.


			All our treatments are minimally invasive and guided by accurate medical imaging, including colour duplex ultrasound. It is widely accepted that successful varicose vein treatment requires good imaging in the form of colour duplex ultrasound scanning to accurately map the anatomy (what the veins look like) and the physiology (how they are working eg. direction of blood flow). Even with the most innocent spiders it is important to check for valve failure and reflux as management of any sort of venous problem which neglects to detect and treat underlying reflux will fail. There may be short term success but the problem will recur and get worse. Colour duplex ultrasound is a painless quick and non-invasive test. It is essential even in cases where reflux at the commonest site is detected clinically as the colour duplex test can detect other important features like further refluxing segments and variants of normal anatomy which may well alter the optimum treatment plan. Unlike many centres where the ultrasound scan is undertaken by a technician, often at a separate visit, your consultant will personally undertake the scan at the time of your consultation and then be able to discuss with you exactly what the problem is and agree with you a firm and costed proposed treatment plan.
