Venous Doppler

Venogram

Ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.Venous ultrasound provides pictures of the veins throughout the body.A Doppler ultrasound study may be part of a venous ultrasound examination.Doppler ultrasound is a special ultrasound technique that allows the physician to see and evaluate blood flow through arteries and veins in the abdomen, arms, legs, neck, and/or brain (in infants and children) or within various body organs such as the liver or kidneys.

What are some common uses of the procedure?

The most common reason for a venous ultrasound exam is to search for blood clots, especially in the veins of the leg. This condition is often referred to as deep vein thrombosis or DVT. These clots may break off and pass into the lungs, where they can cause a dangerous condition called pulmonary embolism. If the blood clot in the leg is found early enough, treatment can be started to prevent it from passing to the lung.

Determine the cause of long-standing leg swelling.
In people with a common condition called “varicose veins”, the valves that keep blood flowing back to the heart in the right direction may be damaged, and venous ultrasound can help the radiologist decide how best to deal with this condition.
Aid in the placement of a needle or catheter into a vein.
Sonography can help locate the exact site of the vein and avoid complications, such as bleeding or damage to a nearby nerve or artery.
Map out the veins
Map out the veins in the leg or arm so that pieces of the vein may be removed and used to bypass a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. An example is using pieces of vein from the leg to surgically bypass narrowed heart (coronary) arteries.
Examine a blood vessel graft
Examine a blood vessel graft used for dialysis if it is not working as expected; for example, the graft may be narrowed or blocked.

What is a venogram?

A venogram is an x-ray test that involves injecting x-ray contrast material (dye) into a vein to shows how blood flows through your veins. This allows a physician to determine the condition of your veins.An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X-rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging.

What are some common uses of the procedure?

A venogram is commonly used to:
● Assess the status of a vein or system of veins.● Find blood clots within the veins.● Assess varicose veins before surgery.● Find a vein in good condition to use for a bypass procedure or dialysis access.● Help a physician place an IV or a medical device, such as a stent, in a vein.● Guide treatment of diseased veins.

"The west orange nephrology office in Winter Garden. Is the best. They treat you and make you feel really good as soon as you come in the office. They also answer every question you have with your health. All the doctors in the West orange nephrology office treat you well. I highly recommend Dr. Awosika to anyone who has a problem with the kidneys. I am a patient of Dr. Awosika and he is the best doctor I have seen for my double kidney failure. Thank you West Orange Nephrology for being a friendly medical office"

Raquel O.

"I love being a patient of Dr. Awosika he’s great always addresses concerns. I wouldn’t trade him for anything in the world. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks, doc you are the best! !!! The staff is great I love you guys."

"Dr. Banji Awosika is such a great doctor. He has helped both of my parents reduce their medications by simply changing their diet. My dad has been able to eliminate nine meds in less than 2 years and almost double his kidney function in the same time frame, thus avoiding dialysis. My mom has been able to eliminate kidney stones just with her diet and without an operation. The team at West Orange Nephrology is such a pleasure to work with and has been such a great asset in changing my parent’s lives. Thank you!!"

"I just finished my 4th appointment with Dr. Awosika today and another prescription drug has been reduced to half the daily amount! Also, within 3 months of following his diet and exercise directions, my GFR went from 44 up to 60! I know of others who’ve had such success. He and his staff are very professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Dr. Awosika."

Douglas P.

"My back story is that I had a non-functional kidney for many years, which symptoms has been misdiagnosed as GI problems until I ended up in the ER with severe pain, and required emergent removal of that kidney. My experience with my previous Nephrologist was not the greatest, mostly because any time I would discuss my concerns about my kidney health, he simply said that I’m young and have nothing to worry about. A friend referred me to Dr. Awosika, and I have never been happier about her suggestion to see him. He always listens to my concerns, sends me for testing related to those concerns, and looks at my test results before saying everything is ok. He considers lifestyle changes before suggesting medication, if appropriate. I truly appreciate his dedication to patient care and would recommend him to any of my friends and family."
