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.
Our experts
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is not usually noticeable. It can therefore grow in size over years and often remains undetected.
Prof. Daniel Staub
In most cases, patients with "cold hands" only need to see a doctor if they also experience other symptoms, such as extremely noticeable discoloration of the hands.
Dr. Markus Aschwanden
The typical symptoms of varicose veins are heavy, tired and even aching legs, but itching and swelling of the ankles that increases towards the evening can also occur.
Dr. Katja Stürzebecher
There are various risk factors and situations that can lead to an increased tendency to thrombosis and ultimately to a thrombosis.
Dr. Sarah Brunner
If patients feel pain in their legs when walking, these symptoms, in combination with other abnormalities, can be a very good indication of intermittent claudication.

Prof. Daniel Staub
Where does an abdominal aortic aneurysm occur and how can it be treated? Prof. Daniel Staub, Chief Physician of Angiology, provides information on this and other topics.
Among other things, the Angiology Clinic can carry out a screening examination to detect the aneurysm using ultrasound. This is particularly recommended for smokers and men over the age of 65, as well as people with close relatives with a known aneurysm
Dr. Markus Aschwanden
Dr. Markus Aschwanden explains where the phenomenon of "cold hands" comes from, whether you need to see a doctor at all if you have "cold hands" and how they can be treated.
Dr. Katja Stürzebecher
Dr. Katja Stürzebecher explains what treatment options are available for spider veins and varicose veins.
Varicose veins and spider veins are treated with skin care, exercise and compression therapy, for example with medical compression stockings. Invasive treatment can also be considered, with the Clinic for Angiology offering so-called sclerotherapy for spider veins and smaller veins.
Dr. Sarah Brunner
What complaints can be caused by thrombosis? What is the danger and what examination methods and treatment options are available? Dr. Sarah Brunner provides information on this.
Dr. Benjamin Benz
"Schaufester's disease" - what is it anyway? Dr. Benjamin Benz provides information on the significance of the disease, the possible risk factors and how intermittent claudication can be treated.
