Varicose Vein Evaluation (Standing Exam)
Standing venous Doppler at our Bakırköy clinic shows the veins under real working conditions that lying down can conceal.
Why Is the Examination Performed Standing?
The venous system relies on a circulation that works against gravity. When the patient is lying down, the pressure inside the veins decreases and valve insufficiency can be hidden. An examination performed while standing shows the veins under their true working conditions.
Purpose
- ◆Identifying the source of varicose vein formation
- ◆Locating the point of reflux (leak)
- ◆Supporting accurate treatment planning
Our Approach at the Clinic
Venous Doppler examinations are performed not simply to visualize the veins, but to evaluate reflux under real physiological conditions.
At our clinic in Bakırköy, ultrasound and Doppler examinations are performed by Dr. Ahsen Bakan for patients from Istanbul, from other cities across Turkey, and from abroad.
