Venous ultrasound is the number one diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of chronic venous hypertension (CVH), the root cause of varicose vein disease. Not only do we use it for diagnosis but most of our procedures are performed under ultrasound guidance. This allows us to be very specific and target only the veins we want to treat and avoid the veins that are functioning properly. We also use ultrasound to ensure closure of the treated veins post procedures. It is the most valuable tool in our office and we offer the most up-to-date equipment.<\/p>

While ankle swelling, skin discoloration, or poor wound healing are visible signs of\u00a0Varicose Vein disease<\/a>, other signs aren\u2019t always visible. To truly know what is happening, we need to see beneath your skin and inside your body\u2019s venous system, specifically the Saphenous Veins, or the network of veins that work to deliver deoxygenated blood back to your heart. That\u2019s why at Illinois Vein Specialists, we use Vascular Ultrasonography, operated by\u00a0Dr. Perlmutter<\/a>, who is certified in vascular ultrasound, or our\u00a0Registered Vascular Technicians (RVT)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

Using a\u00a0venous ultrasound, we can\u00a0map the veins in your body and obtain a more thorough view of what\u2019s happening beneath your skin. Dr. Perlmutter uses these images to more accurately diagnose those areas that may be suffering from\u00a0vein &\/or lymphatic disease<\/a>. The venous ultrasound also aids Dr. Perlmutter to determine which vein treatment (e.g.\u00a0Endovenous Laser Therapy<\/a>,\u00a0VenaSeal\u2122<\/a>\u00a0, or\u00a0Escleroterapia<\/a>) is best to remedy your specific venous insufficiency.<\/p>

The venous ultrasound images help guide Dr. Perlmutter and IVS\u2019 medical team to accurately target and treat impacted veins without disturbing the healthy veins in the targeted area. This reduces the amount of time spent in recovery and allows these treatments like\u00a0Endovenous Laser Therapy<\/a>\u00a0to be as minimally invasive as possible.<\/p>

** NOTE **:<\/strong>
IVS and Dr. Perlmutter\u00a0do NOT perform<\/strong>\u00a0a procedures called \u201cvein ligation<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 or\u00a0\u00a0\u201cvein stripping\u201d<\/a>. These out-of-date treatments are painful, requires a long recovery period, and are only successful about 50% of the time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
