Vascular Surgery range of servises

Diagnosis

We offer all non-invasive options to investigate your vascular problems in a gentle way, using state-of-the-art technical procedures.

We focus intensively on the diagnosis of your problem. We do not only consider it important to perform a comprehensive investigation, but also explain the significance of the results and appropriate therapy options as carefully as possible.

Specifically, we use:

• Continuous-wave Doppler with frequency spectrum analysis
• B-mode ultrasound and color-coded duplex ultrasound
• Arterial pulse-wave analysis
• Venous congestion plethysmography
• Light reflection rheography
• Oscillography
• Transcutaneous measurement of local oxygen saturation
• Treadmill ergometry
• Modern wound analysis
• Preventive counseling (thrombosis/stroke)
