Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the valves in the leg veins do not function properly, preventing blood from flowing back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the legs, leading to swelling, heaviness, and other uncomfortable symptoms. At Medical Art Center, we provide advanced diagnostic testing and minimally invasive treatments to restore healthy circulation and relieve symptoms.

Understanding CVI

CVI is a progressive condition that can lead to complications if left untreated. It is often the underlying cause of varicose veins, spider veins, swelling, and restless legs.

Common symptoms include:

Leg swelling and heaviness
Cramping or aching, especially at night
Restless legs or itching
Skin changes, such as discoloration or thickening
Development of varicose or spider veins

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our vein specialists perform a comprehensive evaluation to confirm CVI and determine severity, which may include:

Physical examination of the legs
Ultrasound imaging to assess valve function and blood flow
Review of symptoms and medical history

Treatment Options for CVI

Following minimally invasive approaches like those used at Premier Medical Group, we offer:

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) → A catheter delivers heat inside the diseased vein, closing it and rerouting blood to healthier veins.
Sclerotherapy → A solution is injected into smaller diseased veins, causing them to collapse and fade.
Laser Therapy → Non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to close tiny surface veins.
Vein Removal (Phlebectomy) → Larger, damaged veins are removed through small incisions when necessary.

Benefits of Treatment

Relief from leg swelling, heaviness, and discomfort
Improved circulation and prevention of further complications
Better leg appearance and skin health
Quick, minimally invasive procedures with little downtime
