chronic-venous-insufficiency

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a common venous disease resulting from damaged leg veins. These damaged veins are unable to facilitate seamless blood flow, which prevents blood from flowing to the heart from the legs. This condition creates blood pools in the veins, which increases the pressure on the veins and leads to more drastic adversities.   

The treatment process for Chronic Venous Insufficiency Disease starts with a thorough physical examination of the leg to determine any signs of ulcer or color change. Our Chronic Venous Insufficiency specialists will then perform a vascular ultrasound to image your veins and determine the root cause. We take different approaches to Chronic Venous Insufficiency treatment based on your specific needs and the severity of the case.  

If your symptoms are mild, we might recommend that you make some lifestyle changes to treat the issue. These include regular exercise, better weight management, and leg elevation to promote blood flow. 

In some instances, our experts might recommend compression therapy to ease swelling discomfort in your legs. Certain medications, such as antibiotics, anticoagulants, and medicated wraps, are also effective in treating Chronic Venous Insufficiency.   

However, the most popular choices for our patients have been the latest Chronic Venous Insufficiency endovenous laser treatment and sclerotherapy. These procedures are minimally or non-invasive, making them preferable for most people. 

We also offer surgical treatments for treating Chronic Venous Insufficiency, but we reserve these procedures only for highly severe cases. Some of the most common of these surgical procedures include microincision phlebectomy, ligation and stripping, and even vein bypass.
