Sievering Clinic

Competence Centre for Minimally Invasive Medical Services

Diagnosis

At the Sievering Clinic we are committed to providing personalized and compassionate service to all our patients and offer state-of-the-art surgical techniques.

In addition to the clinical examination is non-invasive angiology-metrological examination of the utmost importance. Knowledge of the morphological changes as well as the subtle functional disturbances is necessary for the development of a stage-related therapy concept.

The presented methods can be considered as standard procedures in the diagnosis and assessment of primary arterial disease. The methods are not competing methods. Utmost diagnosis accuracy and reliability is achieved in additioning the statements while respecting their different significance and the assessment of different functional and morphological criteria.

Our non-invasive diagnosis services include:

Doppler Auscultation

The Doppler Auscultation is the technical basis for examination in the diagnosis of vascular diseases and the essential requirement to be able to target other non-invasive procedures.

Ultrasound Investigation

Simultaneous application of the ultrasound B-picture as well as the Doppler ultrasound technique, possibly with color-coding of flow information. The method makes it possible to simultaneously see and to interpret morphological criteria (B-scan) and functional criteria (flow analysis) and represents – through real-time viewing – the above criteria in a direct anatomical and topographical context.

Trendelenburg Test

The Trendelenburg Test can often be used to distinguish patients with superficial venous reflux from those with incompetent deep venous valves.

Service Order
Requests for any of these services are accepted on the order of a physician and the patient’s request. As part of the consult, a complete history, physical, interview, and ultrasound Doppler with venous mapping will be ordered and performed. Referrals are accepted by either phone call or fax. The physician’s office should fax the venous consult order, and our staff will arrange for all the rest.

To provide our patients with the highest quality surgical care available, our practice is limited to the evaluation and treatment of general surgical conditions. If you do not have a primary care physician, we will gladly refer you to someone for your non-surgical needs.
