Media & InterviewsCoverage of the clinic's wearable wireless monitoring (a ring sensor sending oxygen saturation and pulse trends to a tablet) for patients who need observation after varicose vein procedures, and a dedicated chart recording pre-procedure conditions through post-treatment reassessment. Readings support, and do not replace, the clinician's own assessment of consciousness, breathing, pain and bleeding.
Read articleDr. Dongju Seo advises that recurring swelling, heaviness and night cramps warrant checking for valve-related reflux, and that visible bulging does not always match the reflux beneath, so duplex ultrasound matters. Conservative care such as compression first, with laser or radiofrequency treatment when indicated.
