Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) demands specialized attention to prevent complications and improve quality of life. At Pinnacle Vein & Vascular Center, our expert team of vein specialists is dedicated to diagnosing and managing CVI, offering tailored treatments to promote venous health and alleviate symptoms.

Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

CVI occurs when the valves in the leg veins fail to function properly, leading to inadequate blood flow back to the heart. This condition can result in symptoms such as leg swelling, pain, skin changes, and venous ulcers. Recognizing the signs and risk factors associated with CVI is essential for early intervention and effective management.

Recognizing Symptoms

Symptoms of CVI may include:

• Swelling, particularly in the ankles and lower legs
• Aching or heaviness in the legs, especially after prolonged standing or sitting
• Varicose veins
• Skin changes, such as discoloration or thickening
• Venous ulcers, particularly around the ankles

Specialized Treatment Approaches

Our comprehensive treatments for CVI may include:

• Lifestyle Modifications: Recommendations for regular exercise, elevation of the legs, and weight management to improve venous circulation.
• Compression Therapy: Utilization of compression stockings or wraps to reduce swelling and improve blood flow in the legs.
• Endovenous Procedures: Minimally invasive treatments such as endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to seal off diseased veins and redirect blood flow to healthier ones.
• Sclerotherapy: Injection of a solution into varicose veins to close them off and improve symptoms.
• Venous Ulcer Management: Specialized wound care techniques to promote healing and prevent infection in venous ulcers.
