Venous Disease & Insufficiency

Venous disease occurs when the veins in the legs have difficulty returning blood back to the heart. This can lead to blood pooling in the lower legs, causing swelling, heaviness, aching, skin discoloration, and sometimes wounds near the ankles.

Venous insufficiency often develops when the valves in the veins weaken or stop functioning properly. Treatment focuses on improving circulation and reducing symptoms to protect long-term leg health. This condition is often treated by venogram and venoplasty.
