Every other week, Rete7 Nordovest.tv broadcasts an hour dedicated to Vascular information for people suffering from diseases related to veins and arteries.
Dr. Maurizio Rodio responds to callers and identifies problem areas and suggests consultation. For those viewers who are unable to watch at that time, or unable to call-in, are welcome to submit a query that may be addressed in the next broadcast.
QUESTIONS FOR NEXT BROADCAST?
WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS?
Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they are smaller. They are often red or blue and are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like tree branches or spider webs with their short jagged lines. Spider veins can be found on the legs and face. They can cover either a very small or very large area of skin.
WHAT IS AN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM?
The term abdominal may lead you to believe that this aneurysm is in your stomach, but aortic aneurysm commonly occurs in the aorta immediately below the kidneys but above the iliac arteries going to the legs.
