Carotid Doppler
Assesses the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque, narrowing and reduced blood flow to the brain.
A comprehensive vascular diagnostic assessment designed to check stroke risk, aneurysm risk, leg arterial circulation, venous disease, DVT concerns and peripheral circulation in one structured appointment.
The Premium Total Vascular Health Check is an advanced 5-in-1 vascular ultrasound and circulation assessment designed to detect stroke risk, aneurysm risk, arterial disease, venous disease and leg circulation problems before they become serious. It combines carotid Doppler ultrasound, abdominal aortic aneurysm screening, lower limb arterial Doppler, lower limb venous Doppler and ABPI circulation testing in one appointment. Package price: £1,199.
Each test answers a different vascular question: stroke risk, aneurysm risk, artery narrowing, venous clot/valve disease and circulation severity.
Assesses the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque, narrowing and reduced blood flow to the brain.
Assesses the abdominal aorta for enlargement, bulging or aneurysm formation.
Evaluates blood flow through leg arteries to detect narrowing, blockage or peripheral arterial disease.
Assesses deep and superficial veins for clot, reflux, valve failure, varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
Compares ankle and arm blood pressure to quantify blood-flow restriction and peripheral arterial disease severity.
Immediate verbal explanation where appropriate, followed by a written report usually within 24 hours.
A single private vascular appointment designed to assess the most clinically important circulation territories.
Carotid Doppler ultrasound checks the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. It can identify plaque build-up, narrowing and altered blood flow that may increase stroke or TIA risk.
AAA screening checks the main artery in the abdomen for silent enlargement or aneurysm formation. Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be symptom-free until they become dangerous.
Leg symptoms can come from artery narrowing, vein valve failure, previous clotting or mixed circulation problems. This package checks both arterial and venous circulation and adds ABPI testing for objective severity grading.
Assesses the arteries supplying the legs for narrowing, blockage and peripheral arterial disease.
Assesses the deep and superficial veins for clot, reflux and venous valve problems.
Measures ankle and arm blood pressure to estimate arterial circulation restriction.
Especially useful for AAA and vascular risk screening.
For patients with hypertension or wider cardiovascular risk.
For patients with increased risk of atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease.
Smoking significantly increases risk of vascular disease and aneurysm.
For patients with family history of stroke, aneurysm, heart disease or vascular disease.
For persistent leg pain, swelling, heavy legs, varicose veins or pain when walking.
Calf, thigh or buttock pain that appears on walking and improves with rest may suggest peripheral arterial disease.
Cold feet, colour change or reduced pulses can indicate arterial circulation problems.
Persistent swelling, heaviness or aching may reflect venous insufficiency, clot or mixed vascular problems.
Prominent veins can be linked to venous reflux and valve failure.
Some neurological or visual symptoms may require urgent assessment; carotid scanning may support stroke risk review in appropriate cases.
AAA is often silent, especially in older men and people with smoking history.
Please fast for 6 hours before your appointment. Clear fluids and regular medication are usually permitted unless you have been advised otherwise.
Your vascular specialist performs carotid Doppler, AAA scan, lower limb arterial Doppler, venous Doppler and ABPI testing in one appointment.
Where appropriate, key findings are explained during the appointment so you understand whether urgent action is required.
A written vascular report is usually provided within 24 hours for your own records or onward medical review.
Many clinics scan only one area at a time. This package is designed to map multiple vascular territories in one visit, helping identify stroke risk, aneurysm risk, arterial narrowing, venous disease and peripheral circulation problems together.
One all-inclusive package price for a comprehensive 5-in-1 vascular assessment.
Carotid Doppler, AAA screening, lower limb arterial Doppler, lower limb venous Doppler and ABPI testing.
Carotid Doppler and abdominal aortic aneurysm screening in the same pathway.
Arterial Doppler, venous Doppler and ABPI test to evaluate leg circulation comprehensively.
This is a private vascular screening and diagnostic assessment. It is not an emergency service and does not replace urgent care for stroke symptoms, sudden weakness, facial droop, speech disturbance, sudden severe leg pain, blue or cold limb, severe chest/back/abdominal pain, collapse or suspected acute clot.
Abnormal findings may require GP follow-up, urgent vascular referral, emergency assessment, medication review, CT/MRI/CTA, repeat ultrasound or specialist vascular management depending on severity and clinical context.
London Private Ultrasound supports local, national and international patients seeking private vascular Doppler and circulation assessment.
