静脉曲张

You don’t have to live with unsightly or painful varicose veins. Our vascular surgeons 和 interventional radiologists can treat most patients with no hospital stay required.

Varicose Vein Treatment

消融

Our vascular specialists use a catheter to deliver radiofrequency energy that collapses the vein.  The procedure is completed in minutes. No anesthesia is required. After the surgery, you must wear a compression b和age 和 avoid vigorous activity for a few weeks.

Endovenous 消融 Therapy

Varicose veins are a common condition that can be treated by the Guthrie interventional radiology team through a same-day procedure called Endovenous 消融 Therapy. The procedure is minimally invasive 和 has a fast recovery time, helping to relieve your leg pain 和 often improve the appearance of your veins.

Vein stripping 和 ligation

Our vascular specialists make an incision in the leg 和 either remove (strip) or tie off (ligate) the varicose vein. Most patients go home the same day of their surgery 和 resume normal activities within several weeks.

硬化疗法

A care team that can include 血管手术, aesthetic services 和 interventional radiology works together on this procedure, which involves injecting a concentrated saline solution into the vein, causing it to collapse. Compression stockings are required after the procedure to maintain pressure on the vein.

These treatments can be used alone or in combination, depending on the severity of your veins 和 other conditions you have. To determine which course of action is best for you, make an appointment with a vascular specialist or interventional radiologist.
