Emergency Care
Superficial thrombophlebitis or superficial vein thrombosis with phlebitis is a condition where superficial veins thrombose or clot can cause inflammation and induration (hardening, thickening) of the overlying skin. There is also associated erythema (redness) and palpable warmth over the course of the vein. Patients complain of pain upon touching the thrombosed cords of veins and may feel warmth upon touching the area that is involved with phlebitis. They often go to emergency rooms for evaluation, believing that the redness represents infection in the lower extremity. In turn, emergency room physicians may incorrectly treat the problem with antibiotics, prolonging the duration of symptoms and skin complications that result from this inflammatory process.

Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology
Dr. Karamanoukian has donated an EVLT machine to surgeons in the Republic of Armenia for them to perform this procedure in lieu of ligation and VEIN stripping. This has been a highly successful program. As well, he has donated surgical instruments for use in a vascular and ophthalmology center of excellence in the Republic of Armenia and the province of Nagorno Karabakh.

Internal Medicine
Researchers at Harvard published a study in May 2008 in the Archives of Internal Medicine that investigated the association of particulate air pollution to deep vein thrombosis, i.e. deep vein clots). It is well accepted that air pollution is linked to heart disease and stroke but the association with deep vein clots was unknown until this study was published. Dr. Baccarelli and colleagues studied this phenomenon in subjects living in the Lombardy region in Italy. They examined the association of exposure to particulate matter of less than 10 microns. Using 870 patients and 1210 controls, they concluded that long-term exposure to particulate air pollution is associated with altered coagulation function and deep vein clot formation risk. Of note (and perhaps too detailed for this discussion), each increase of 10 microg/m3 in particular matter in air was associated with a 70% increase in deep vein clot (DVT) risk. So, avoid living in cities with a significant burden of air pollution ro reduce this risk. By the way, living in low air pollution areas will also reduce your chances of developing asthma, heart disease and stroke.

Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Thyroid
A very detailed and thorough history and examination is performed to rule out comorbid conditions that contribute to the poorly healing or non healing wound. These include conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, kidney insufficiency and failure, among others. As well, coagulation factor disorders are sought out and investigated by special blood tests. The spectrum of blood tests and coagulation factor studies is determined and individualized by Dr. Karamanoukian at the time of consultation. All of these studies are covered by medical insurance.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (Ultrasound Sclerotherapy or Ultrasound Sclero) is a procedure used to treat underlying incompetent veins and varicose veins that feed surface varicose veins, reticular veins and spider veins (telangiectasias).
MRI
What are the symptoms of Chronic Venous Hypertension? Symptoms of chronic venous hypertension may include swelling, pain, tenderness, venous stasis skin changes, or venous leg ulcers. Diagnostic evaluation includes lower extremity venous color duplex ultrasound and sometimes other imaging such as CT or MRI scans specially performed to evaluate the veins of the legs, pelvis, or abdomen.

X-Rays
Computed Tomography
Symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome All people with May-Thurner syndrome will not have symptoms secondary to the compression of the left common iliac vein. Sometimes, it is discovered by accident when imaging (particularly CT scan or MRI) is performed for other reasons. Most of the time it is discovered during the work-up of a DVT of the left leg. Symptoms can include pain and/or swelling. May-Thurner syndrome occurs more commonly in women aged 20 to 50 years.
Chemotherapy
Moderate risk factors have an odds ratio between 2 and 9, indicating an increased risk by 2 to 9 fold. These include arthroscopic knee surgery, the presence of central venous lines, chemotherapy, congestive heart failure, respiratory failure, hormone replacement therapy, cancers, the use of oral contraceptive agents, paralytic stroke, being pregnant, previous episodes of venous thromboembolism and thrombophilia.
Radiation Therapy

General Surgery
Dr. Karamanoukian obtained his training at UCLA, the University of Southern California and the University at Buffalo. He has graduated from Honors Collegium at UCLA with a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry. After obtaining his medical degree (MD) from the University of Southern California (USC), Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian completed his residency training in general surgery and thoracic surgery with highest honors from the University at Buffalo. In addition to two dozen research awards during his training as a surgical resident, Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian received the Worthington Schenck Resident Teacher of the Year Award, Dr. Rutecki Memorial Award given to one Graduating Chief Surgery Resident and Best All Around Graduating Resident Award. As such, he was awarded 3 out of 5 awards at graduation from a class of 10 chief resident peers in 1997. Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian was administrative Chief Resident in Cardiac Surgery from 1998 - 1999 and received the George Schimert award for outstanding graduating resident.
Wound Care
Very rarely are patients able to work as these open wounds require constant care and cause significant disability. Over 80 % of patients with venous stasis ulcers have limited mobility. According to studies reported in the medical literature, in terms of quality of life, the open wounds cause more concern for patients than symptoms of pain, itching, anxiety, social isolation and reduced ability to perform their daily routine. At least, these wounds require daily or twice daily wound dressing changes. In advanced healthcare environments and systems, patients with venous stasis ulcers are seen by home health care nurses at least once weekly. Physicians who are specialized in wound care also supervise the evolution of these healing wounds once monthly and more frequently when they are infected or have significant necrotic tissue. Dr. Karamanoukian has the experience to recognize and treat infections that are contributing to poorly healing or non-healing venous stasis ulcers.

Plastic Surgeons

Liposuction
It is often said by plastic surgeons that "the hand is a give-way for age", meanng that even after getting a lot of cosmetic surgery such as face lift, body contouring, liposuction, breast implantation, the part of the body which gives away the patient's real age are the hands. And so, most people who are cognzant of having hand veins seek tretment for it to hide their ages. Since the hands are extended when we meet others in social settings, it becomes a cosmetic priority for both men and women as they age.
