Скачать или смотреть High Volume Low Concentration Foam Sclerotherapy - Dr Dhanraj D Chavan - AVLS, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Presentation at the 33rd Annual Congress of the American Vein & Lymphatic Society held in JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Here I present the method of Sclerotherapy that I perform in resource restricted setting where even having access to an ultrasound machine is a difficult task. Patients cant afford Endovenous Thermal Ablation because of the high cost. This method can definitely help us treat such patients.

Gist of the technique - 0.2% Polidocanol used to create foam by mixing 1:1 with room air and injected in all visible varicosities. Endpoint is till all the veins are engorged with the foam. Anywhere upto 140ml of foam has been used in different patients depending on the number of veins they have . Veins as large as 22mm in diameter have been treated.
