Vascular Ultrasound – is the gold standard for diagnosing the pathology of peripheral vessels, non-invasive 

In our center, cardiovascular surgeons are also doctors of functional diagnostics. This allows us to conduct an ultrasound examination and consultation in one office, by one doctor, at the same time. It’s mega-convenient! You do not need to make an appointment with two doctors, at different times, and sometimes on different days, and repeat your complaints twice.

In our center, you can perform ultrasound of the branches of the aortic arch (ultrasound of the vessels of the neck), ultrasound of the vessels of the lower extremities (ultrasound of the arteries and veins of the lower extremities) in Lviv painlessly, expertly, professionally, and affordably. Our doctors have extensive experience in working with patients of a cardiovascular surgical profile, which is especially valuable in complex cases.

When is it necessary to conduct an ultrasound of the vessels?

In case of: 

• varicose veins
• swelling 
• changes in the skin (redness/darkening, hardening or the presence of a wound)

In this case, an examination of the veins of the legs should be done, which will allow to confirm or exclude venous insufficiency and investigate its cause (varicose veins, thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis);

In case of: 

• pain in the lower legs while walking, which forces you to periodically stop to rest;
• the feeling of numbness or coldness in the feet;
• excruciating pain in your limbs at rest 

You should immediately perform an examination of the arteries of the legs to assess their patency, and in the case of occlusion, immediately begin treatment (including surgical);

In case of: 

• dizziness;
•  headache;
• consciousness;
• high blood pressure (hypertension);
• acute disorders of cerebral circulation (strokes)

An ultrasound examination of the vessels of the neck (branches of the aortic arch) is recommended for you. The presence of atherosclerotic changes in the carotid arteries often requires careful monitoring of the dynamics of the pathological process in order to choose the correct treatment tactics.
