A Private Practice Physician’s Experience Treating Chronic Venous Insufficiency
My practice’s paradigm has been developed over 20 years of treating chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) in the office setting. Initially, we start with a consultation to evaluate a patient’s history and physical exam. We take into account personal history, family history, and history of any vascular pathology, such as peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and superficial venous thrombosis. From there, we discuss the patient’s primary concerns for seeking treatment. If they are having symptoms of leg pain, swelling, cramps, heaviness, restlessness, or skin changes such as wounds or bleeding varicosities, we arrange for a venous duplex mapping of the lower extremities in my office. The patient will return after the duplex exam to go over the findings and discuss treatment options. If the patient has no symptoms and is only concerned about visible telangiectasias—excluding corona phlebectatica—I recommend cosmetic sclerotherapy without a duplex exam. A 6-week follow-up is arranged, and if the patient is satisfied with the results, further sclerotherapy treatments can be offered as needed.
