Ultrasound findings after modern venous interventions
VASCULAR

Duplex ultrasound is ideally suited as a non - invasive method to evaluate the outcome of treatments for chronic venous disease as it provides both anatomical and haemodynamic information about the treated veins.
In this session I will present information about some of the recent or modern venous interventions including Thermal ( Endovenous Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation) and Chemical (Sclerotherapy) treatments along with the even newer non ñtumescent, non-thermal treatments( NTNT)including Glue, Steam and Clarivein.
An understanding of how these treatments work and what they hope to achieve will assist the sonographer in ultrasound scanning post treatment. Normal and abnormal ultrasound findings in the post intervention venous scan in the immediate and later time frames will be highlighted.

While a relationship between large infrarenal aortic diameter and both cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence and all-cause mortality has been previously suggested, there is also evidence that small aortic size may also be associated with increased CVD risk. We examined a total of 4882 elderly (...
