I had an ultrasound and doplar study done that showed blockage in my greater saphenous vein from my groin to mid-calf. An interventional Radiologist will perform ELT on that leg.I'd also like sclerotherapy on my other leg (and on the ELT leg after the healing is complete.) This will be performed by the same MD, the interventional radiologist, who works exclusively in the vein clinic.Is this advisable or is it recommended that the sclerotherapy be done by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon? Which would mean going to a different clinic?
