Hi, could anyone recommand me a good vein specialist in Hong Kong that could take care of a anti-coagulant treatment after a DVT?


Thanks

I think perhaps there is a bit of misunderstanding. DVT (Deep vein thrombosis) occurs when there is a clot in the vein. This can be a life threatening condition as the complication is pulmonary embolism (the clot moves into the lungs). Varicose veins is a condition of tortuous veins which are unsightly and can cause leg ulcers or swelling but generally not life threatening.

matmatHK: For DVT you would probably require a haematologist more than a 'vein specialist' unless you are planning surgical removal of the clot.

Hope this helps.
