Advanced Expertise for Treating Even the Most Complex Varicose Veins
Vascular Treatment Technology

Directly Treating Veins Under High-Resolution Ultrasound Guidance
Real-Time Ultrasound Targeting

At Sun Vascular Clinic, high-resolution ultrasound equipment designed for surgical use allows veins to be viewed directly during treatment.
By performing the procedure under real-time ultrasound guidance, the surgeon can accurately locate and close the refluxing veins while minimizing the risk of blocking a deep vein.

What Is Real-Time Ultrasound Targeting?

In most hospitals, treatment is performed based only on the vein locations identified during the initial examination. Since those veins have been marked in advance, treatment can be applied to the general area, but it is difficult to confirm whether the veins have been completely sealed.

If a refluxing vein is not properly closed, recurrence becomes more likely, and new varicose veins may develop in nearby vessels, expanding the area that requires treatment.

At Sun Vascular Clinic, the exact location of problem veins is identified through a detailed pre-treatment examination. During the procedure, the surgeon uses real-time ultrasound imaging to target and treat the refluxing veins with precision, greatly improving treatment accuracy.

By directly viewing the veins with high-resolution ultrasound equipment in the operating room, the clinic minimizes the risk of damaging deep veins and completely seals the refluxing vessels.

  • Accurately seals problem veins under direct ultrasound guidance
  • Additional time to carefully verify each vein with ultrasound before treatment
  • Significantly enhances treatment precision through this advanced approach
TECHNICAL SKILLS

Sun Vascular Clinic’s Expertise in Ultrasound Examination

[Examination Stage]
Diagnosing multiple factors beyond the site of reflux

Ultrasound imaging allows real-time observation of vascular structure and blood flow within the veins. At Sun Vascular Clinic, examinations are conducted not only on the area where patients feel discomfort but also on other potential veins that may be causing symptoms. Reflux is checked throughout all leg veins, including deep veins, superficial veins, perforator veins, and communicating veins. To assess reflux, longitudinal imaging is performed, and Doppler waveforms and flow duration are measured. It is also important to check for the presence of blood clots during the examination.

[Treatment Stage]
Performing treatment while viewing real-time ultrasound images for accuracy

Because veins are located inside the body, they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Once the problem veins are identified during the examination, performing treatment while viewing ultrasound images in real time allows for much greater accuracy and more reliable results. Even if ultrasound imaging is used, relying solely on the operator’s intuition can reduce precision. At Sun Vascular Clinic, university hospital–level ultrasound systems are used to diagnose venous lesions and precisely target the affected areas during treatment.
