CT MRI Varicose Veins Breast MRI PET Lincoln Nebraska I have bulging, twisting, painful varicose veins in my legs. How can they be treated?
Symptoms caused by varicose veins include heaviness/aching legs, leg swelling, skin discoloration, and even ulceration. Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. The laser energy is applied to the inside of the vein, sealing the vein closed. Once the diseased vein is closed, other healthy veins take over carrying blood back to the heart. Several advantages over vein stripping: no surgery, resume normal activity same day, no general anesthesia, tiny scar, 97% success. To schedule a consultation with a doctor, call (402) 423-SCAN (7226). Douglas Winjum, M.D.
