At ¸Û°Äͼ¿â, our patients receive the highest level of care for venous disease, from spider veins and painful varicose veins to deep vein thrombosis and chronic venous insufficiency. Our vascular surgeons bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to creating personalized care plans.
Veins are the vessels that carry blood from your body back to your heart. Special valves inside healthy veins make sure that blood moves toward your heart and does not flow in the wrong direction. When these valves do not work properly, you experience symptoms, including:
- Spider veins: Small, thin and winding veins that look like little threads at the surface of your skin. They are often red, purple and blue.
- Varicose veins: Swollen and twisted that often push up under your skin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots that develop in veins in the leg or pelvic area.
- Pulmonary embolism (PE): The most serious complication of DVT, PE occurs when a clot breaks free from an artery and lodges in your lungs. PE can cause your heart and lungs to collapse, a serious condition.
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI): Blood in the legs does not flow back correctly to the heart due to problems with the valves in the veins.
