Duplex Examination
The popular method today of treating Varicose Veins commences with examining the patient by a vascular surgeon and continues with an Ultrasound Dupler (or Duplex) testing.
The Duplex is an Ultrasound machine combined with a Dupler machine, which enables the surgeon to examine each and every arterial and venous vessel as well as its flow. This machine allows an external examination, free of pain or penetration. Only after The Duplex examination is finished, it is possible to decide which treatment method is best to treat the veins. Some of the newest, most recent venous treatments are performed using this device such as ultrasound guided sclerotherapy and Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT).
