Conditions Treated
Angiology is the medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of diseases of the peripheral vessels, including both arteries and veins. This branch of medicine is essential for maintaining optimal blood circulation and preventing vascular complications.
At VenArt Clinic, our doctors offer you a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis of peripheral vascular disorders. This is achieved through:
- Doppler ultrasound;
- Phlebography;
- Arteriography.
Depending on the diagnosis or the severity of the vascular disease, our doctors can offer you a drug solution to improve your health or, if necessary, minimally invasive vascular, venous or arterial treatments.
Peripheral Vascular Disease is a term that is meant to represent all pathologies caused by obstruction of various blood vessels. Once a major blood vessel is blocked, it can cause various symptoms, which at first are manageable, but can worsen over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Angiology do?
Angiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the vascular system, including blood vessels (arteries, veins) and lymphatic vessels.
What problems does an angiologist treat?
An angiologist treats conditions such as:
- Varicose veins;
- Deep vein thrombosis;
- Chronic venous insufficiency
Peripheral arteriopathy; - Aneurysm;
- Peripheral arterial disease;
- Lymphedema.
What is a Doppler ultrasound and why is it needed?
Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging investigation that uses ultrasound to assess blood flow through veins and arteries. It is needed to diagnose conditions such as:
- Deep vein thrombosis;
- Venous insufficiency;
- Arterial stenosis.
What is deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and how serious is it?
DVT is a condition in which blood clots form in a deep vein, usually in the legs. It is serious because the clot can migrate to the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
How often should I see an angiologist?
You should consult an angiologist if:
- You have symptoms of a vascular disease;
- You have risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, obesity or family history;
- For routine check-ups at least once a year.
