Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a common vein condition in which weakened or damaged valves in the leg veins prevent blood from flowing efficiently back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the lower legs, leading to symptoms such as leg swelling, heaviness, skin discoloration, and painful ulcers. Understanding the symptoms and available treatments for chronic venous insufficiency can help prevent complications and improve vein health.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) often develops gradually and may be associated with varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or chronic leg swelling. At Ohio Vein and Vascular, our experienced team provides personalized care to identify and treat the underlying causes of CVI, not just the symptoms. We offer chronic venous insufficiency treatment throughout Ohio, including Columbus–Polaris, Mentor, Avon, Medina, Independence, and Canton.
Common Symptoms:
- Aching, tired, or heavy legs (especially after standing or sitting for long periods)
- Swelling around the ankles, calves, or feet
- Varicose or spider veins
- Skin darkening or thickening near the ankles
- Dry, itchy, or leathery skin
- Slow-healing wounds or leg ulcers
Even mild symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated – early evaluation is key.
Why Evaluation Matters
Without treatment, chronic venous insufficiency can lead to persistent leg pain, swelling, skin damage, and slow-healing leg ulcers. Fortunately, modern treatments for chronic venous insufficiency can improve blood flow, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications.
At our Ohio vein centers, a quick, noninvasive ultrasound evaluation can identify damaged veins, assess blood flow, and help determine the most appropriate chronic venous insufficiency treatment for your needs.
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options:
Ohio Vein and Vascular offers advanced in-office treatments for chronic venous insufficiency designed to close damaged veins and redirect blood flow to healthier veins, with little to no downtime:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Uses gentle heat to seal faulty veins.
- ClariVein®: Combines mechanical action and medication to close veins without heat.
- Varithena®: A prescription microfoam that treats larger varicose veins through a small injection.
- Sclerotherapy: In-office injections for smaller surface veins.
- Unna Boot Compression Therapy: Helps promote healing for venous ulcers related to CVI.
For more complex cases of chronic venous insufficiency, our Cath Lab may perform venous intervention and stenting to open narrowed or blocked veins, improve circulation, and restore healthy blood flow.
