Varicose Ulcer Treatment with a Cardiovascular Surgeon
On this occasion, Dr. Paulo Huachalla Coronel, a Cardiovascular Surgeon in Lima, treats a patient presenting with a varicose ulcer caused by chronic venous disease that was not treated in time.
Before determining the appropriate varicose vein treatment, the specialist performed a venous Doppler ultrasound—a key diagnostic tool that revealed venous insufficiency in the trunk of the great saphenous vein. This condition led to the development of varicose veins, which, without timely medical attention, progressed into an ulcer.
Why is it essential to treat varicose veins early?
Early treatment of varicose veins is crucial to prevent serious complications. In the case presented, the patient is at stage C6 of venous disease, the most advanced and severe stage. Additionally, it is a recurrent C6 case, as the ulcer had previously healed but reopened.
Recommendations from the varicose vein specialist
- Timely treatment of venous disease is key to preventing its progression.
- A Doppler ultrasound is essential to identify the source of venous reflux; in this case, insufficiency in the trunk of the great saphenous vein.
- Treatment must be based on the findings from the Doppler evaluation.
