Angiology-Phlebology

What is it?

Angiology is the medical specialisation that deals with blood vessels.

An angiology specialist treats conditions affecting the arteries, veins, capillaries and lymphatic vessels.

How?

Before your appointment please make a list of all of your symptoms and look up your personal or family medical or surgical background (varices, phlebitis, arteritis, vascular risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco use).

Please remember to bring all of your previous test results (Doppler-ultrasonography, angiogram-scanner or MRI).

After a targeted interview the angiology specialist will complete a clinical examination and, if necessary, an artery or vein Doppler-ultra-sonography, generally of the cervical region or upper or lower limbs).

Doppler ultra-sound examinations are non-invasive.

At the end of these tests the angiology specialist will propose the most suitable treatment for your condition and may also make recommendations which could range from simple life-style changes to medical or surgical treatments (ultra-sound guided sclerotherapy, endolaser, varicose vein surgery, medical or surgical treatment of arterial disease). They may also refer you to a vascular surgeon.
