Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic issue; they can be a significant source of discomfort and pain. At Tampa Cardiovascular Associates, we understand the impact that varicose veins can have on your daily life. Our team is dedicated to providing effective treatments that not only eliminate unsightly veins but also alleviate the aches and pains associated with this condition.

 

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins do not function properly, causing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. This can lead to symptoms such as aching, throbbing, swelling, and leg fatigue.

 

Comprehensive Treatment Options

At Tampa Cardiovascular Associates, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address varicose veins. Each treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients, ensuring both efficacy and comfort.

 

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure where a special solution is injected into the affected veins. This solution causes the veins to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. Sclerotherapy is highly effective for smaller varicose veins and spider veins, offering quick relief with minimal downtime.

 

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

EVLT is a state-of-the-art treatment that targets larger varicose veins. During the procedure, a laser fiber is inserted into the vein, delivering targeted heat to seal the vein shut. This method is highly effective and offers a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgical options.

 

VenaSeal™ Closure System

The VenaSeal™ closure system is the only non-tumescent, non-thermal, non-sclerosant procedure that uses a proprietary medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close the vein. This unique approach eliminates the risk of nerve injury when treating the small saphenous vein, which is a risk sometimes associated with certain thermal-based procedures.^1,2  Clinical studies have demonstrated that the procedure is safe and effective.^1-4  The procedure is administered without the use of tumescent anesthesia, avoiding patient discomfort associated with multiple needle sticks.

 

Improving Quality of Life

Addressing varicose veins does more than enhance your appearance; it significantly improves your quality of life. By eliminating the pain, swelling, and discomfort, our treatments allow you to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s walking around the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard or enjoying a day at Busch Gardens, you’ll notice a marked improvement in your ability to engage in activities without leg pain holding you back.

 

Health Insurance Coverage

Many people mistakenly believe that varicose vein treatments are purely cosmetic. However, most vein procedures are deemed medically necessary and are covered by health insurance. At Tampa Cardiovascular Associates, we work closely with your insurance provider to ensure that you receive the care you need without financial stress.
