·        The 1^st vascular laboratory in Saudi Arabia

·        Started in 1995 by Prof. Al Salmman

·        Serving all the population all over the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

·        Many therapeutic & diagnostic tests are performed such as:

A.      Direct Testing (Duplex Imaging):

1)       Carotid Duplex, extracranial

2)       Arterial - Lower extremity Duplex

3)       Arterial - Upper extremity Duplex

4)       Graft surveillance- Upper or Lower extremity

5)       Venous - Duplex, upper or lower extremity

6)       Venous - Duplex, IVC & Iliac

7)       Abdominal - Aorta/Iliac native artery or graft duplex

8)       Abdominal - AAA stent graft assessment

9)       Abdominal - Mesenteric arterial duplex

10)    Abdominal - Renal Parenchyma and arterial duplex

11)    AAA screening

12)     Vein mapping

13)    Dialysis access studies

14)    Intra-operative duplex

B. Indirect Testing (NON-Imaging)

1)       Arterial - ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) with waveforms

2)       Toe pressure

3)       Arterial - RBI (Radial Brachial Index) with waveforms

4)       Finger pressure

5)       Arterial - Segmental pressures and waveforms (P&W's), upper or lower extremity

6)       Arterial - Treadmill with arterial pressures

7)       Arterial - TOS assessment (thoracic outlet syndrome) Pressures & arterial waveforms (P&W's), with maneuvers

     C. Therapeutic Procedures done in coordination with the vascular lab

        1) Duplex Guided Procedures

A.                  Pseudoaneurysms Thrombin injection

B.                   Pseudoaneurysms - Compression

C.                   Iatrogenic A-V F - Compression

        2) Endovenous Laser Therapy for the Treatment of Varicose Veins
