2009-10-30joe10101010YesThank you, I called my doctor and I am going back today for another ultrasound.
2009-10-29Craig8101010NoI appreciate the prompt reply and the info provided. I am surprised and confused that laser surgery is not available. I don't understand why my doctor would suggest investigating that if it is not an option. But thank you for your help. It provides a perspective that may be more informed than the Chinese hospitals.

2009-07-25Nick10101010YesIs very helpful. I appreciated the links provided.
2009-07-24Nick10101010NoThanks. I have an appointment with a vascular surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and they are going to ultrasound the area. Would this closure procedure I saw on the www.vnus.com site be a good idea maybe? I was hoping to reduce the pressure on the bottom part of the leg so it heal. Well, I'll cross my fingers and hope things have changed. That minimally invasive procedure sounded great though. I wish they could do that to me, maybe it's possible?

Lauri Ordway

Expertise

I can answer your questions related to peripheral vacular disorders. This includes all arteries and veins except those inside the head and inside the heart. IE: neck (carotid), arms (carotid subclavian bypases to Thoracic Outlet) belly (aortic aneurysm & occlusive disorders, renal artery stenosis), legs (iliac, femoral, popliteal, peroneal, dorasalis pedis, posterior and anterior tibial) arteries. Aneurysm & occlusive disease, atherosclerosis, leg pain, arterial wounds and gangrene, amputation prevention. Vein disorders: Blood Clots (DVT), post-phlebetic syndrome, varicose veins, venous stasis ulcers. I can help with vascular wound treatments. Also, Raynauds, Buerger`s disease, Thoracic Outlet and other miscellaneous vascular disorders. I CANNOT answer questions about your heart disease, blood pressure, brain aneurysm, although I can help with questions about the arteries that go to and from those organs.

Experience

I am a nurse, I have worked for 14 years with two terrific peripheral vascular surgeons, one of them is also the inventor of very innovative wound care products and surgical instruments to make vascular surgery procedures better and faster. I wrote and manage our clinic website and field questions from patients all over the world.
