Center For Advanced Vein Therapy - Procedures
At the Center for Advanced Vein Therapy, we
offer the following therapeutic services in the convenience of
our modern, well-equipped office:
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT):  This treatment replaces the "vein stripping" procedure
that has been often used for treatment of failed saphenous veins
or large venous tributaries. EVLT uses a laser catheter
inserted through a small needle puncture near the knee to close
the faulty vein. This is accomplished in an office setting using
local anesthesia only and without scars. The patient can
return to an active life immediately. The symptoms and
bulging varicose veins usually resolve or improve dramatically
very quickly after this treatment.
Below are some "Before and After photographs demonstrating
the benefits
of EVLT:
 Ambulatory Phlebectomy:
For patients with bulging varicose veins that cannot be treated
completely with EVLT, an ambulatory phlebectomy can be performed. This
minimally invasive procedure is performed in the comfort of
the office under local anesthesia. The varicose veins
are physically removed from the leg through tiny skin punctures
resulting in
immediate relief of symptoms and a dramatic cosmetic improvement.
Sclerotherapy:
Malfunctioning veins of all sizes can also be
closed by directly injecting substances called "sclerosants" into
the veins with tiny needles. These medications lead to
complete closure of these veins with a high degree of safety
and effectiveness. This
can be used to treat the tiniest spider veins or larger varicose
veins. Either direct visual injection can be done, or,
for deeper veins, injection can be guided using an ultrasound
probe. This latter technique is called "ultrasound-guided
sclerotherapy."
Compression Therapy:
Almost all patients with venous insufficiency,
both before and after treatments, benefit from compressive
stockings which
reduce symptoms, improve venous flow, prevents complications
of treatment, and optimizes the effectiveness of all the treatments
offered.
