Varicose veins and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) are two of the most common venous disorders. They not only affect your appearance but can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. At Vascular IR Clinics India, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments to manage both conditions effectively and restore vascular health.
Understanding Varicose Veins
Varicose veins occur when the valves in leg veins weaken, causing blood to pool and veins to bulge. Symptoms include:
- Leg heaviness
- Swelling and pain
- Visible twisted veins
- Skin darkening or ulcers
Understanding DVT
DVT involves blood clots forming in the deep veins, typically in the legs. This condition is dangerous because clots can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.
Risk Factors
- Prolonged immobility
- Surgery or trauma
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Pregnancy
Diagnostic Tools
- Duplex Doppler Ultrasound
- D-Dimer Testing
- CT Venography
Treatment Options for Varicose Veins
- Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) – Sealing faulty veins using laser energy.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Heat-based closure of diseased veins.
- Foam Sclerotherapy – Injection of foam into small varicose veins.
- Phlebectomy – Removal of superficial veins through micro-incisions.
Treatment Options for DVT
- Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis – Administering clot-busting medication directly into the clot.
- Mechanical Thrombectomy – Suctioning out large clots from veins.
- IVC Filter Placement – Preventing clots from reaching the lungs.
- Anticoagulation Support – Guidance on blood-thinning medications.
