The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution.

Advertising and claims

This site names no brand of equipment or material, quotes no prices, and makes no claim that any technique reduces risk. It does not promise an outcome, does not offer an assessment, and carries no booking pressure of any kind. Every claim is attributed to the kind of evidence behind it, and regulatory status is reported as a separate question from clinical benefit.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because imaging is easily presented as a safeguard, this site states plainly that showing a vascular path is not the same as closing it, that no comparative study has shown a fall in vascular events with routine scanning, and that a vascular event is an emergency. It does not use the availability of equipment as a reason for reassurance.

Reviewer and review cycle

Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the medical reviewer for this site. Content is reviewed at publication and on a short cycle, because equipment and technique change more often than the outcome evidence does, and the date of the most recent review is shown on every page.
