Preoperative preparation for residents from other cities
27 apr 2015
Despite the fact that endovascular methods of treatment of varicose veins are minimally invasive procedures and are performed WITHOUT ANNESTICITY and WITHOUT CUTS, there are a number of general tests that you must pass in order to have an idea of your health status.
The list of analyzes necessary for EVLА (endovasal laser coagulation) and / or RFA (radiofrequency ablation) of varicose veins:
- Complete blood count
- Urinalysis
- Hepatic tests (total protein, creatinine, urea, bilirubin, glucose, ALT, AST, cholesterol)
- Coagulogram (PTI, fibrinogen and INR)
- Blood type and Rh factor, over the past 3 months.
- Blood test for viral infections (HIV, RW, hepatitis B and C), over the past 3 months.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) with decoding, for the last 3 months.
- Fluorography, for the last 6 months.
- Consultation of a urologist / gynecologist, over the past 6 months.
The limitation period of most tests, if possible, should not exceed 14 days before the date of treatment.
All endovascular procedures in the vascular center of AngioLife are performed on an outpatient basis under tumescent "local" anesthesia according to the standards of leading European clinics. Therefore, there is no need to be examined as extensively as before open surgeries, which are performed in surgical hospitals under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia.
If you have previously been treated in hospitals or you have had surgery and / or have a chronic disease, you must inform our specialists about this and take all available analyzes and conclusions of specialists for an initial appointment.
After endovasal intervention in the AngioLife vascular center, you receive an extract and a memo with all further recommendations, as well as all the necessary additional documents.
