“Varicose veins often signal an underlying circulation issue. An ecocolordoppler identifies the cause, so treatment can address more than what is visible. Today’s options are minimally invasive, painless and performed on an outpatient basis.”
— Prof. Edoardo Cervi, Vascular Surgeon
Prof.
Edoardo Cervi
Vascular surgeon and lead of the phlebology department at Palazzo Manzoni in Brescia. Expert in general and vascular surgery, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, endovenous laser, hemorrhoid treatment, and vascular diagnostics.
Background and Clinical Practice
Background
and clinical practice
Prof. Cervi is a general and vascular surgeon with phlebology subspecialisation. The same training that treats a varicose vein handles a varicophlebitis, a deep venous thrombosis question, an aortic or supra-aortic ultrasound, a hemorrhoidal pathway. One specialist, not a referral chain.
His practice covers ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, liquid sclerotherapy, cryosclerotherapy, transdermal laser, endovenous laser (EVLA), radiofrequency, and hemorrhoid treatment by foam and radiofrequency. The technique fits the lesion, not the marketing leaflet.
At Palazzo Manzoni, he works under the department’s principle of single-surgeon continuity: the patient examined at the first consultation is the patient he treats and reviews at every follow-up.

How Prof. Cervi Approaches a Case
How Prof. Cervi
approaches a case
Prof. Cervi’s consultations begin with a thorough ecocolordoppler examination of the venous system — mapping which veins are competent and which are not — followed by a clear discussion of what the examination shows and what your options genuinely are.
The department emphasises:
Examination before recommendation
The venous map, established by ecocolordoppler, guides the choice of treatment, not the reverse.
Single-surgeon continuity
You see the same specialist at consultation, treatment, and all follow-up visits.
Anatomical clarity
Patients understand what their examination shows and why it matters for their options.
Honest candidacy
Patients are told plainly whether a procedure is right for them, or whether a different approach — or waiting — is more appropriate.

→
Vascular and phlebology surgery
General and vascular surgery with phlebology subspecialisation: varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and vascular diagnostics (ecocolordoppler of venous, arterial, supra-aortic, abdominal and aortic vessels).
→
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy and liquid sclerotherapy, tailored to the venous map established at the first examination.
→
Endovenous laser (EVLA)
Closure of the diseased segment from inside the vein, without stripping, without scars, with the patient walking out the same day.
→
Hemorrhoid treatment
Hemorrhoid treatment by foam endosclerosis and radiofrequency.
→
Ulcers and hard-to-heal wounds
In the regenerative medicine division he is responsible for the vascular side: lower limb ulcers and hard-to-heal wounds, starting from duplex ultrasound and from treating the circulatory cause. Ulcers and hard-to-heal wounds
