Conditions such as aneurysms, peripheral artery disease (PAD), blood clots, carotid artery stenosis, and varicose veins can be treated using endovascular techniques.

Pus samples are collected using sterile techniques and cultured to identify the specific microorganisms causing the infection.

Results typically take a few days to allow for culture growth and sensitivity testing. Rapid methods may provide preliminary results sooner.

A positive result indicates the presence of bacteria or fungi in the pus sample, helping to diagnose and treat localized infections effectively.

Yes, the test identifies the specific microorganism causing the infection and determines its susceptibility to antibiotics or antifungal medications.

Minimal risks include slight discomfort during sample collection and rarely, infection at the puncture site. Sterile techniques minimize these risks.

If you have persistent joint pain, swelling, or instability that does not respond to conservative treatments, arthroscopy may be recommended.
