Vein Therapy
Patients choose Total Cardiology Care because of our dedication and expertise in preventing, managing and reducing cardiovascular disease. We also provide this level of expertise and dedication while treating our patients for various vein disorders.
At Total Cardiology Care, we diagnose and treat the following vein problems:
Varicose Veins – Enlarged veins that can be blue, red or flesh colored may be varicose veins. They are often raised above the skin on legs and look like twisted bulging cords. Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins that carry blood from the legs toward the heart no longer function, causing blood to pool in the legs.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) – is a progressive medical condition that worsens over time and affects the veins and vessels in the leg that carry oxygen-poor blood back toward the heart.
Varicose veins can progress to CVI if left untreated. As varicose veins progress to become CVI, other painful and symptoms like leg swelling, skin damage and ulcers may occur.
Several treatments employed by Total Cardiology Care to treat vein problems include the following:
Endovenous Thermal Ablation – is a minimally invasive treatment that involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a diseased vein to seal it shut using heat. Over time the treated vein shrinks and is absorbed by the body. Compared with surgical options, endovenous ablation results in less pain and quicker recovery time.
ClosureFast™ Targeted Endovenous Therapy – is the only minimally invasive segmental radiofrequency (RF) ablation treatment that utilizes radiofrequency energy to provide an even and uniform heat to contract the collagen in the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal. The venefit procedure allows for a quick, comfortable recovery, while also improving the appearance of varicose veins.
