Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are a common problem, affecting 35 percent of adults in the United States. Recognizable by their bulging, twisted and rope-like shape that protrudes from the skin, varicose veins are both a cosmetic and medical concern that can cause an unsightly appearance and symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, itching, skin discoloration and, in severe cases, ulcers, sore and blood clots. At Vascular and Interventional Partners, we’re committed to helping patients eliminate their varicose veins with effective yet minimally-invasive treatment options, providing relief without surgery or significant downtime.
What are Varicose Veins?
The body’s circulatory system is a vast network of blood vessels that includes veins, arteries and capillaries. The arteries deliver blood to where it’s needed, while the veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The veins in the lower half of the body have to work against gravity to push the blood upward, so they contain specialized valves to keep things moving in the right direction. When these valves fail, the normal flow of blood is disrupted, causing it to pool in the affected veins. As pressure builds, the blood vessels begin to twist and knot, causing unsightly varicose veins to appear that are visible through the skin.

How are Varicose Veins Treated?
At Vascular and Interventional Partners, our goal is to help patients live happier, healthier lives by improving treatment outcomes with the most effective and innovative techniques available. Whenever possible, we utilize a minimally invasive approach for alleviating the symptoms of venous disease without extensive surgery. For varicose veins, this includes options such as endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy.
