Begin with a clinical question
Identify the reflux source, anatomical constraints and the patient’s concerns before considering a different approach.
GOOD LEG CLINIC · THE PHYSICIAN & THE RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
The physician & the research philosophy
Bringing vascular surgical experience to small but significant clinical challenges, with complete assessment, clear communication and ongoing follow-up.
From cardiovascular surgery to the veins of the leg.
Dr. Yang graduated from National Yang-Ming University’s medical program and trained in surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. He served as chief resident and attending cardiovascular surgeon at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, and led cardiovascular surgery departments at Da Chien Health System and Kuang Tien General Hospital.
At Good Leg Clinic, his work focuses on detailed assessment and minimally invasive treatment of lower-limb venous disease. UFLA and SPOT represent distinct clinical investigations: access to a short branch that cannot accommodate a standard sheath, and energy delivery beside the nerve in the below-knee segment.
Research makes methods and observations available for scrutiny. Its value includes being clear about what is known and what remains uncertain, for both patients and colleagues.

OUR RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY
Keep exploring, guided by patients’ needs.
Separate observations from hypotheses
Report the sample and follow-up transparently. A technique’s intended mechanism still needs evidence.
Follow up and keep learning
Follow-up ultrasound, symptoms and daily function help us understand outcomes and improve care.
CLINICAL QUESTIONS
Current research directions
SPOT
Point-by-point energy delivery and nerve-sparing strategies for the below-knee great saphenous vein.
Begin with a complete vascular assessment.
Understand the source of reflux and your individual circumstances before discussing treatment.
