Assessment and planning

A vascular consultation may include detailed questions, clinical examination and review of existing imaging. A chaperone is always available during clinical examination - just ask. When necessary, vascular ultrasound, CT or MR angiography will be arranged. Management may involve lifestyle and risk-factor advice, surveillance, medicines, compression stockings, endovascular procedures, or open surgery.
