EP 7 - Superficial Disease Is Dead: Long Live Superficial Disease!

veinPODCAST by Dr Laura Redman

Superficial vein disease is a lifestyle condition and a relatively ‘non-harmful’ disease that can be treated. More prevalent in females and often linked to lifestyle choices such as smoking and obesity, it is also typically inherited through genetics, therefore it’s a disease that is difficult for physicians to prevent or control. So, is superficial disease dead or not? Join Dr Steve Elias for this provocative discussion with a world-renowned expert panel: Prof Alun Davies (Imperial College London, UK), Ellie Dillavou, MD, (Duke Regional Hospital, US), Dr Margaret Mann (Innova Dermatology, US), and Dr Lowell Kabnick (NYU Vein Center, US) to discuss the issues surrounding superficial vein disease, with a focus on treatment options and technologies.
