VASCULAR SURGERY

Vascular Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment for vascular conditions. At Cornerstone Clinic, we utilise a variety of advanced diagnostic tools to precisely pinpoint the location and severity of vascular issues. Some of the most common diagnostic procedures include:

• Eco-Doppler Ultrasounds: This non-invasive imaging technique uses sound waves to visualise blood flow within arteries and veins. Different types of Eco-Doppler ultrasounds provide detailed information about specific areas.
• Venous Mapping: This advanced imaging technique involves injecting a contrast dye into a vein followed by X-ray imaging. This allows for detailed visualisation of the venous system, which is particularly helpful in assessing complex venous problems or planning treatment for varicose veins.

VENOUS MAPPING

At Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, we treat a variety of conditions commonly affecting the leg veins and arteries:

• Varicose Veins: These are twisted, enlarged veins that appear just beneath the skin surface. They can cause discomfort, aching, and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.
• Spider Veins: These are smaller, red or blue thread-like veins that appear close to the skin surface. While typically not a medical concern, they can be a cosmetic concern for some individuals.
• Venous Ulcers: These are open sores that develop on the legs due to poor circulation and increased pressure within the veins.
• Venous Insufficiency: This condition occurs when the veins struggle to return blood effectively to the heart, leading to swelling, pain, and skin changes in the legs.
• Arterial Ulcers: These are open sores that develop on the legs due to poor blood flow from narrowed or blocked arteries. They are typically more painful than venous ulcers and require prompt treatment to prevent infection and potential limb loss.
• Diabetic Foot: Diabetes can significantly increase the risk of foot problems due to nerve damage and poor circulation. We offer comprehensive care for diabetic feet, including wound care and management of diabetic ulcers.
