About Dr. Soroush Sohrabi
Designation: vascular surgeon and phlebologist
Department: vascular surgery
Dr. Soroush Sohrabi is a distinguished British senior vascular and endovascular consultant and phlebologist, specialising in the treatment of venous conditions, varicose veins, and a wide range of arterial and vascular disorders. He offers minimally invasive solutions tailored to individual patients’ needs for dealing with chronic leg pain, swelling, or circulatory issues.
Trained in England, he earned his Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) and further enhanced his expertise through prestigious fellowships in the USA and Australia, focusing on cutting-edge vascular techniques.
In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Soroush is a certified vascular sonographer, having completed specialised training at the University of Leeds, England. This allows him to deliver precise, high-quality vascular diagnostics using advanced ultrasound imaging.
As a dedicated academic, Dr. Sohrabi previously served as an Academic Clinical Lecturer in Vascular Surgery with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) in England. His research contributions include 28 publications in leading medical and surgical journals. He is also the recipient of the prestigious Medawar Medal for the outstanding PhD research in the UK.
His experience includes serving as the Clinical Director of a major vascular surgery unit in Wales, UK, where he played a key role in improving vascular care services.
Dr. Soroush Sohrabi treats both arterial and venous disorders using the latest technologies with a patient-first mindset to help individuals take control of their vascular health.
Dr. Soroush Sohrabi specializes in:
Doppler Ultrasound
This technique plays a vital role in the management of venous disorders, allowing for precise identification of venous reflux and ensuring that all factors affecting treatment decisions are thoroughly evaluated. A detailed assessment of both the superficial and deep venous systems is performed, identifying damaged veins and evaluating valve function to determine the exact source of venous insufficiency. The procedure is completely non-invasive, painless, and safe.
Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that improves blood circulation and reduces leg swelling. A comprehensive vascular assessment is performed to evaluate both arterial and venous conditions, ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatment to rule out peripheral arterial disease before starting compression therapy.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), also known as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency, utilizing a thin laser fiber inserted into the affected vein through a small incision. EVLA/EVLT is highly effective, requires no general anesthesia, and offers a quick recovery with minimal discomfort, making it a preferred alternative to traditional vein surgery. However, general anaesthesia is available if preferred by the patient, ensuring complete comfort during the procedure.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), also known as Endovenous Radiofrequency Treatment (EVRFA), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency. It utilizes a thin catheter that delivers radiofrequency energy through a small incision, inserted into the affected vein. RFA is highly effective, requires no general anaesthesia, and offers a quick recovery with minimal discomfort, making it a preferred alternative to traditional vein surgery. However, general anaesthesia is available if preferred by the patient, ensuring complete comfort during the procedure.
Clarivein
ClariVein® or mechanico-chemical ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency. It uses a unique technique that combines mechanical and chemical methods to close faulty veins. ClariVein® is highly effective, causes minimal discomfort, and typically doesn’t require local anaesthesia around the vein.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins (thread veins). There are two main types of sclerotherapy: ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy for larger, deeper veins and microsclerotherapy for smaller, surface veins, such as spider veins. Both techniques are safe, effective, and require no surgery or downtime.
Phlebectomy
Mini Phlebectomy, also known as ambulatory phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove bulging varicose veins that are close to the surface of the skin. It is often performed in combination with other vein treatments like Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) to achieve the best results. Depending on the size of the varicose veins and the patient’s preference, the procedure can be performed under either local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
TRLOP
TRLOP (Transluminal Occlusion of Perforator Veins) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat incompetent perforator veins introduced by Prof. Whitely in London. Perforator veins are faulty veins that allow abnormal blood flow between the deep and superficial venous systems. Depending on the size of the perforator veins and patient preference, TRLOP can be performed under local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia for maximum comfort.
