Venous disease refers to conditions that affect the veins, impairing their ability to efficiently return blood to the heart. It encompasses a range of issues, including:
Diagnosing venous disease typically involves:
Including inspection of the legs for visible signs such as varicose veins or ulcers.
A procedure using contrast dye and X-rays to create images of the veins, often reserved for more complex cases, and is done prior to the treatment of deep veins.
A non-invasive test that uses sound waves to visualize blood flow in the veins and detect any abnormalities.
Image guided ultrasound is performed to precisely locate the iliac femoral, popliteal and/or tibial vein compression and determine the exact percentage of stenosis for assessment of May-Thurner Syndrome.
Treatment for venous disease aims to relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and prevent complications. Options may include:
Lifestyle changes such as elevation of the legs, wearing compression stockings, and regular exercise focusing on legs.
Including sclerotherapy to treat varicose veins, endo-venous laser therapy (EVLT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and non-thermal superficial venous sclerosant to close off diseased refluxing veins which are not amenable to conservative therapy. For severe cases or specific conditions like venous ulcers that require endovascular repair with treatment of underlying venous conditions with venogram and advanced wound care.
