Sigvaris Group stopped in last week for an in-service to educate our staff on the importance of compression garments and how to properly measure for them. We are always striving to be the best at what we do! This is a great before and after of one of our patient's who suffered with bulging, symptomatic varicose veins.
Carotid stenosis occurs for multiple reasons and involves in most cases atherosclerosis (or plaque formation) within the artery that impairs blood flow to the brain. There are multiple measurements taken via a carotid duplex ultrasound and/or computed tomography angiography (CTA) that help the clinician grade the degree of stenosis.
A dissection occurs when the "media" layer of the aorta is disrupted which causes the aorta to separate into two different channels of blood flow which are not connected. This is most commonly caused by elevated blood pressure. Other risk factors include aortic valve disease, previous cardiac surgery, smoking, trauma, illicit drug use, and the presence of certain connective tissue diseases.
