APG for simultaneous detection of occlusion and reflux

Chronic venous disease is often assessed using fragmented diagnostic approaches, making it difficult to obtain a complete hemodynamic picture. This session explores how Air Plethysmography (APG), through the SOT APG System, enables simultaneous assessment of venous occlusion and reflux in a single examination.

Featuring expert discussions and real-world case comparisons, the webinar highlights how comprehensive hemodynamic assessment can support clinical decision-making, optimize compression therapy and donning aids and other treatment strategies, predict outcomes, and improve patient care.

What to expect during the session

Understand the clinical utility of the SOT APG System for simultaneous detection of drainage impairment and reflux.
Examine the value of preoperative APG assessment in predicting surgical outcomes for superficial venous reflux.
Review real experience, including pre- and post-operative measurements and imaging
Gain practical insights into SIGVARIS compression garments and donning aids

Attendees will be equipped with actionable knowledge of advanced hemodynamic diagnostics, learn from a collaborative international panel, and participate in a live Q&A to address their clinical questions.
