Venous Insufficiency

Venous insufficiency is a circulatory problem that can lead to varicose veins and, in severe cases, venous ulcers. If you’ve got symptoms of venous insufficiency, experienced surgeon Dr. Yeshwant Phadke can help. Dr. Phadke and his team use innovative, minimally invasive techniques such as sclerotherapy, endovenous radiofrequency ablation, and the VenaSeal™ Closure System to treat the veins causing your symptoms. Contact us to learn more or to schedule an appointment.


What Symptoms Does Venous Insufficiency Cause?

One of the most common symptoms of venous insufficiency is the development of varicose veins in your legs. These are prominent, twisting veins that show through your skin in shades of red, blue, and purple. Venous insufficiency can make your legs feel:

  • Itchy
  • Painful
  • Tingly
  • Heavy
  • Sore
  • Fatigued
  • Like they’re burning

Your legs might throb, become restless at night start cramping, or swell. Your skin might start to discolor. Without treatment, venous insufficiency can worsen and cause serious complications like leg ulcers. These open, nonhealing wounds are challenging to treat, and in some cases, infected ulcers can lead to gangrene (tissue death).

What Is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?

Venous insufficiency (or vein insufficiency) is a condition that affects the veins in your legs. Arteries going down your legs deliver blood rich with oxygen fresh from your heart. Your veins return the blood from your feet back up your body so your heart can replenish the oxygen and start the cycle again. However, pumping blood up your legs presents problems due to gravity. Therefore, you need something in your veins to stop blood from giving in to gravity, so it gets back around your body.


A key part of the system that keeps your blood flowing in the right direction is a series of valves in your veins. These valves are like tiny doorways that allow blood through one way but stop it from going the other way. If the valves get too weak or damaged to work as they should, blood can trickle backward, resulting in venous insufficiency.

CVI occurs when stresses on the venous system – like pregnancy, age, or standing for long periods of time weaken the vein structure and the valves break down.

When the veins become weakened or diseased, vein valves no longer promote efficient blood flow, and blood pools in the legs.

This impaired blood flow (or reflux) causes veins to expand, lose form, and protrude from beneath the skin. This causes varicose veins, swelling, and the symptoms described above.

Treatments We Offer

Our advanced treatment options are state-of-the-art and allow for rapid recovery to get you back on your feet.


VenaSeal™

VenaSeal is an in-office procedure where a catheter is inserted directly into the diseased vein and the VenaSeal® adhesive is injected to seal the vein.


ClosureFast™

With ClosureFast, a catheter enters the vein and delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat and seal shut, and allow other healthy veins to take over.


Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous laser varicose vein surgery is a procedure that uses heat from a laser to reduce varicose veins.


Varithena®

Varithena is an FDA-approved microfoam that treats varicose veins in the GSV (great saphenous vein) system and other truncal veins.


Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is an in-office procedure where a solution, called a sclerosing agent, is injected into the veins causing the blood to clot and the vein to scar.


Phlebectomy

With a phlebectomy, small incisions are made in the area of the vein, and then a tool is used to remove the vein. The incision is closed and bandages are applied.
