Venous Diseases We Treat
Understanding Venous Conditions
Venous disease often develops gradually and may go unrecognized in its early stages. With the help of advanced imaging and expert evaluation, it is possible to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and determine appropriate next steps for care.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the valves inside the veins become weakened or damaged, making it difficult for blood to flow efficiently back to the heart. As a result, blood may pool in the legs, leading to increased pressure within the veins.
Over time, this can contribute to symptoms such as:
- Leg swelling
- A feeling of heaviness or aching
- Skin discoloration near the ankles
- Visible or enlarged veins
CVI is one of the most common forms of venous disease and can progress if left unaddressed. Early evaluation can help identify the condition and guide treatment options that support improved circulation.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. This can affect normal blood flow and may require prompt medical evaluation.
Symptoms may include:
-
Swelling in one leg
-
Pain or tenderness
-
Warmth or redness in the affected area
DVT can vary in severity, and early diagnosis plays an important role in helping to manage the condition and reduce the risk of complications.
The Importance of Early Evaluation
If you are experiencing persistent leg swelling, discomfort, or visible vein changes, a comprehensive evaluation can help determine whether venous disease may be present.
At California Vein Institute, we use non-invasive imaging and detailed clinical assessments to better understand each patient’s condition and recommend appropriate next steps.
Personalized Care for Vein Health
Many modern treatments for venous disease involve minimally invasive, image-guided techniques designed to target the source of the problem while supporting a smoother recovery process.
