Medical Training AISclerotherapy Study Track
You'll be able to evaluate superficial venous disease, select an appropriate sclerosant approach, and perform injection technique with sound clinical judgment.
What this track covers
This track covers venous anatomy and physiology relevant to spider and reticular veins, and how to distinguish cosmetic presentations from underlying venous reflux that needs further workup. It also addresses sclerosant agent selection, foam versus liquid preparation, and injection technique considerations across vein sizes.
What you will practice
- Differentiate cosmetic telangiectasias from signs of underlying venous insufficiency
- Match vein size and location to an appropriate treatment approach
- Reason through sclerosant agent and concentration selection
- Sequence injection technique steps, including patient positioning and vessel access
- Recognize and respond to common post-procedure complications
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with visible leg telangiectasias and asks about treatment, requiring the clinician to take a focused history, rule out reflux, and discuss an appropriate treatment plan.
Board question topics
- Venous anatomy of the lower extremity
- Sclerosant mechanism of action and agent classes
- Recognizing venous reflux versus cosmetic vein disease
- Post-sclerotherapy complication management
