As a common yet often overlooked vascular condition, CVI can significantly impact your quality of life.

We’re here to guide you every step of the way toward lasting relief.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins in the legs struggle to efficiently return blood to the heart. This typically happens due to weakened or damaged vein walls and valves, leading to blood pooling in the lower extremities. As a result, symptoms such as swelling, pain, heaviness, and skin changes may occur. If left untreated, CVI can lead to more serious complications, including varicose veins, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis. Early diagnosis and proper management are key to preventing the progression of this condition.
CVI can present with a range of symptoms, including:
At Tristate Vein Specialists, the treatment for Chronic Venous Insufficiency begins with conservative approaches designed to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms. These methods include elevating the legs, wearing specially designed compression stockings, and prescribing medications that enhance circulation. We also focus on addressing underlying conditions, such as blood clots or varicose veins, that may contribute to the development of venous insufficiency, ensuring a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient.
For more advanced cases, our specialists at Tristate Vein Specialists may suggest one of the following minimally invasive procedures:
This procedure involves inserting a narrow catheter into the damaged veins. As the catheter is gradually withdrawn, it emits radiofrequency energy, causing the vein to collapse. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the collapsed vein, effectively eliminating the problematic area.
A highly effective treatment for both venous insufficiency and varicose veins, sclerotherapy entails injecting a specialized solution into the affected veins. This solution prompts the veins to close and eventually transforms into scar tissue, which the body will naturally absorb over time.
In cases of more significant venous insufficiency, a phlebectomy may be performed. This procedure involves making a tiny incision at the site of the damaged valve or vein, allowing a specialized tool to delicately extract the vein. This not only provides relief but also improves the cosmetic appearance of the leg.
Recovery time after treatments for Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) can vary depending on the method employed. Generally, minimally invasive procedures offer shorter recovery periods, enabling patients to return to their normal activities within a few days. Patients can expect to see gradual improvement in their symptoms and vein health over the weeks and months that follow, with consistent management contributing to their overall progress.
We utilize advanced, minimally invasive treatment methods for optimal outcomes.
