Diagnosis & Treatments

An accurate non-invasive diagnosis is important in all vein treatment. Expert ultrasound provides the correct diagnosis and is the basis for targeted treatment for abnormal veins. Treatment choices include the broadened use of injection techniques, with and without ultrasound guidance, for spider and varicose veins, and new minimally invasive vein shrinkage procedures like the VNUS Closure procedure to replace vein stripping for varicose veins. More advanced problems like venous ulcers and difficult swelling of the legs demand thorough diagnosis and patient instruction in management methods.
