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.”
