Duplex ultrasound of perforating veins
During our MOH Connect 3, participants gained foundational knowledge in investigating perforating veins (PV), focusing on the flow during systole and diastole and its clinical interpretation.
During the hands-on session led by Dr. Erika Mendoza, patients presenting with specific findings were examined, and their treatment options were discussed. These included cases of draining perforating veins within the context of superficial recirculation and refluxing perforating veins identified as the origin of varicose veins.
