Dr Steve Tristram - MB Ch.B D(Obst)RCOG
Dr Stephen Tristram is an Associate Specialist in vascular surgery, and extremely well respected in his field. He has appeared on BBC Television’s The One Show discussing the treatment of varicose veins and demonstrating an innovative non-surgical technique available at Chiltern Medical Clinic. He was involved in the development of ultrasound-guided techniques for the treatment of varicose veins and ran a large European study in 2001. He lectures widely on his interests and sits on The BUPA Consensus panel for vascular treatments.
His expertise is in the scanning and treatment by injection and compression sclerotherapy of leg veins. This technique allows for the treatment of larger blue veins (reticular and varicose veins) which, in the past, would only be responsive to surgical treatment. Also the use of ‘foam’ as the agent which is injected has revolutionised the treatment of larger leg veins by injection.
He uses a Duplex scanner which allows him to identify problems in the larger vessels such as “leaking” valves and perforator veins, which are the usual source of thread veins and varicose veins. The scanner also allows him to accurately visualise and safely inject larger veins, which would sometimes be impossible with the naked eye. It is important to provide the right compression to these veins after treatment and we provide the correct medical grade compression stockings for this purpose.
Dr Tristram injects small thread veins and Dr Munnelly uses the Nd:YAG laser and the KTP to treat these veins. We are very happy that we can provide a very comprehensive and up-to-date service for the treatment of the vast majority of leg veins problems.
