Everything to do with vascular diseases
From June 19 to 23, the "Vascular Diseases" theme week will be all about vascular diseases and their treatment options.
Who has an increased risk of developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm? When should you see a doctor if you have "cold hands"? What treatment options are there for spider veins and varicose veins? What symptoms should be considered for thrombosis and what can be the risk of leg vein thrombosis? What are the typical symptoms of peripheral arterial occlusive disease and what are the possible risk factors?
Every day shortly before midday, specialists answer these and other questions on Radio Basilisk and provide information about our services. It's worth listening in!
Do you have a question or a concern? We will be happy to help you. You can reach us on +41 61 265 51 54 or by e-mail at angioanmeldung@usb.ch
Clinic for Angiology
The Department of Angiology treats circulatory disorders of the arteries and veins as well as the small vessels (capillaries, microcirculation, lymph). Ultrasound examinations of arteries and veins are a specialty of the clinic. The focus here is on diagnostics as the basis for individual therapy planning. Early detection and prevention are also of great importance.
Treatment and care in the consultation hours is aimed at both outpatients and inpatients. For emergencies, such as acute arterial circulatory disorders or thromboses, the Angiology Clinic is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
