Daniel Torrent: The Overlooked Epidemic of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome

Daniel Torrent, Vascular Surgeon at Longstreet Clinic, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In vascular training, arteries as the main event and veins are often an afterthought.

That’s a training problem, not a clinical reality.

Chronic deep vein disease affects more patients, generates more disability-adjusted life years, and gets a fraction of the attention that arterial disease does.

The average vascular surgery conference dedicates roughly ten arterial sessions for every one on deep venous reconstruction.

The patient with post-thrombotic syndrome who can’t stand for an eight-hour shift doesn’t care that their disease isn’t as dramatic as an aneurysm.

They care that nobody’s offering them a solution.

Veins aren’t just blue arteries.

And treating them like an afterthought is costing patients their livelihoods.”
