Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when the veins in the legs have difficulty returning blood back to the heart. This commonly happens when the valves inside the veins become weak or damaged, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the legs. Over time, this increased pressure can lead to symptoms such as leg swelling, aching, heaviness, fatigue, itching, skin discoloration, varicose veins, and even non-healing wounds or venous ulcers.

At Vascular Surgeons of Houston, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for chronic venous insufficiency using advanced ultrasound imaging and minimally invasive techniques. Our goal is to identify the source of your vein disease, relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and help prevent complications.

Treatment Options

Treatment may include conservative therapy such as compression stockings, leg elevation, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. For patients with persistent symptoms or advanced vein disease, minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. These treatments are typically performed in an outpatient setting and may include vein ablation, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, or other advanced vein therapies.

Our Approach to Care

We understand that venous disease can affect more than appearance. It can interfere with daily activities, work, sleep, and overall quality of life. Our team focuses on compassionate, patient-centered care, helping each patient understand their condition and treatment options clearly. From diagnosis through recovery, we are committed to providing advanced vascular care with comfort, safety, and lasting results in mind.
