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:
Enlarged, twisted veins usually occurring in the legs due to weakened vein walls or faulty valves.
Blood clot formation in deep veins, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly and cause swelling and pain.
Commonly known as Iliac vein compression syndrome can cause leg and pelvic congestion resulting in blood clots or blockage involving upper portion of the leg veins.
Poor vein function over time, leading to symptoms such as leg swelling, pain, and skin changes.
Non-healing wounds that develop on the legs due to poor circulation and increased pressure in the veins.
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.
