What mapping records
Mapping records vein diameter, depth from skin, compressibility, continuity, branches, and areas that may affect procedural planning.
Why accuracy matters
Clear mapping helps the treating team choose the best available vessel and avoid surprises during access or bypass planning.
This is usually planned before a procedure. Urgent swelling, severe pain, or infection should be assessed separately.
