@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialFive vascular warning signs not to ignore: walking leg pain, one-sided calf swelling, non-healing foot wounds, varicose vein skin changes or bleeding, and sudden severe chest, back or abdominal pain. Early vascular assessment matters. https://drandrewchoong.com #VascularSurgery
@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialA new DVT, especially a very swollen painful leg, may need early vascular assessment. In selected cases, clot removal, venoplasty or stenting can matter. Months later, persistent swelling may be post-thrombotic syndrome. https://drandrewchoong.com #DVT #BloodClot #VascularSurgery

@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialA foot or leg wound that will not heal may need more than dressings. In diabetes, PAD, poor circulation or black tissue, blood flow should be checked early before repeated wound care or amputation decisions.

@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialWorld Patient Safety Day: safe vascular care starts before treatment, with careful symptoms, pulse checks, scan review and the right decision for the right patient.
@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialVaricose veins: scan first, treatment second.
Visible veins may only be the surface sign. A vascular ultrasound can show where reflux is coming from and help match treatment to the actual problem.
@drandrewchoong.bsky.socialRed, hot, swollen, painful leg, especially on one side? Don't ignore it. It could be DVT, a deep vein clot that can lead to pulmonary embolism. Duplex ultrasound is a simple first-line check. Andrew Choong Vascular Surgery, Singapore. https://drandrewchoong.com #DVT #VascularSurgery
