Venous Disease
Diseases associated with the veins include:
- Leg swelling - There are many causes
associated with leg swelling, therefore, if
it occurs, seek medical attention for evaluation,
diagnosis and treatment.
- Varicose Veins - an enlarged, tortuous
vein, artery or lymphatic vessel, which is unnaturally
and permanently distended. These veins can be
treated with medical stockings or scleral vein
stripping.
- Vasculitis - inflammation of a vessel
or angitis, which can be treated with steroids
and/or other medications.
- Deep venous thrombosis - A blood clot
that forms in the deep veins of the body, these,
as opposed to superficial veins, have the potential
to cause pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the
lung).
Our Services
Initial evaluation typically includes a non-invasive
venous ultrasound study to evaluate whether a
blood clot or abnormal vein is present. Treatment
includes a variety of medical or interventional
therapies to reduce swelling.
