Video: Overseas Vascular Opinion in Singapore: What Records Should You Send or Bring?

If you are travelling to Singapore for a vascular or an aortic opinion, the right records can save days. The most useful records are your latest scan report, the actual scan images if available, previous operation notes, discharge summaries, your medication list, allergies, and any recent blood test results.

For aortic aneurysms or complex vascular problems, the actual CT images are especially important. The decision is often not made just on the size of the problem, but on the anatomy: where the disease starts and ends, the branch vessels, the access arteries, previous stents or surgery, and whether endovascular, open, hybrid or surveillance is safest for you. For leg wounds, diabetic foot problems, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis or leg swelling, clear photos and previous ultrasound or CT reports can also help.

Good records allow our team to decide what's urgent, what can be planned, and what should be assessed after arrival in Singapore. If symptoms are severe or sudden, seek emergency care locally first. But for a planned specialist review, sending the right records early will save you a lot of time and speed up your management plan.
