Abstract
The introduction of doppler ultrasound technique has irrevocably
altered the diagnosis and treatment of CVI. The reason is quite simple:
thrombotic obstruction of the underlying vein distorts the venous flow pattern
which is readily picked up by doppler. Its non-invasive, easy to perform and
repeatable, can be done at patient's bedside or even at home and the result is
available immediately. It can be used in pregnant women, enables multiple views
in various positions of the leg and the study is safe, painless, and
inexpensive. To evaluate the range of different imaging findings on Color
Duplex Ultrasound in patients who are referred with sign and symptoms of
Varicose Veins and Chronic Venous Insufficiency; To evaluate the association of
DVT in Varicose Veins in order to rule out the risk of pulmonary embolism, to
operate the patient for varicose surgery. Duplex scan can help vascular
specialists in the planning of lower extremity venous interventions. CVI scans
can be highly satisfying examinations from the both specialist and patient’s
point of view as it as a non-invasive procedure.
