A vascular procedure is an operation that is performed when blood vessels in various parts of the body become blocked, causing vascular disease.
When a vascular procedure is needed?
Examples include heart disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm (weak abdominal arteries), carotid artery disease (some brain cells die due to insufficient blood flow), peripheral arterial disease (plaque that hardens and weakens the arteries).
Therefore, most vascular procedures are based on the breakdown of blood clots in the veins. The liquid blood dissolving agent is injected into the vein of the patient to achieve this goal.
How do vein viewers help with vascular procedures?
Accurate vein detection might be difficult in the event of damaged arteries or unusually pigmented vein clusters. In a worst-case scenario, inappropriate injections can be life-threatening.
Vien viewers simplify the difficult process of vascular procedures.
Our vein viewers emit a non-invasive infrared light with various wavelengths, allowing for variable projection depth ( in Catheter-Directed Thrombolytic Therapy, where deep vein thrombosis is necessary).
