Phlebotonogram

Phlebotonography or phlebotonogram is a graphic image that reflects changes in the veins, and also reflects the condition of the valves and vessel walls. This is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows you to identify vein diseases and determine their severity. The technique for creating a phlebotonogram is quite simple, painless and very accurate.

Phleboton is a very thin needle that is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue along the vein. A special marker is placed on the skin at the site where the needle is inserted and the pressure in the vein is measured. The procedure is similar to the usual method of measuring blood pressure in a clinic. The doctor records the measurement results with sensors. They are transmitted to a computer, where the condition of the vessels is monitored at various stages of the procedure. The phlebogram records data on the basis of which the current state of varicose vessels is analyzed and an assessment of the complexity of treating varicose veins is given. At the end of the study, the patient receives a consultation with a phlebologist. In various clinics, phlebotonometry may be called phlebigraphy, phlebography, varicocelegraphy, duplex phlebosonography, variciography or plethysmography. The main difference between venograms and other imaging methods is that they can be used to determine the pressure at each of the vein valves with high resolution. After the phlebogram has been compiled, the doctor can decipher it in order to identify possible problems that may be caused by rheological disorders, thrombosis, compression and other reasons. According to the study, abnormalities occur in the venous valve system. Already at a young age, unfixed movements, uncoordinated operation of valves, and compression occur. In addition, there is a lack of regulation of blood flow. The reasons for the problems are different:

*genetic; *hormonal factors; *birth injuries, sprains; *high load on the legs due to long static loads; *injuries. Measuring varicose veins is important for planning treatment and determining its effectiveness. However, deciphering phlebogram data does not mean diagnosing the disease without consulting a specialist.
