Vein Treatment

Endovenous Laser Treatment for Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the leg veins are damaged and regular blood circulation is impaired.

People with CVI usually have varicose veins as well as other potentially serious medical concerns including leg achiness, swelling, skin discoloration and worst of all, painful leg ulcers. Leg ulcers are open wounds that require specialty care to heal. Endovenous Laser Treatment can help improve and prevent all or some of these problems. With proper care and treatment, the wound will heal but recurrence is high.

Treating the Cause – Endovenous Laser Treatment

The treatment for CVI traditionally involved removing the damaged vein. For many years this was mainly accomplished through painful vein stripping, a procedure often done under general anesthesia. When the damaged vein was removed, patients were less likely to get recurrent ulcers. Advances in technology have changed vein treatment into a simple outpatient procedure. Using endovenous laser treatment and local anesthesia, our surgeon is able to seal the damaged vein rather than completely remove it. Patients leave the clinic encouraged to resume normal activity immediately.
