Although a variety physicians offer vein care, know that vein disease is not cosmetic problem or a disorder limited to the skin. At Maryland Vein Professionals we focus exclusively on the Specialty of
Vein Care. Varicose Veins are often the result of an underlying disorder of the circulatory system called venous insufficiency. Veins are an integral part of the circulatory system as are the heart and the arteries and, as such, deserve the specialized care offered by the Cardiovascular Surgeon with the training, knowledge, and experience in treating diseases of the blood vessels.
If so, then you may be suffering from superficial venous reflux disease. Approximately 25 million people in the United States suffer from this condition. Traditionally, patients diagnosed with venous reflux would undergo surgery. Now, an array of minimally invasive treatment modalities is available.
Varicose veins are known for their distinctive blue color and their bulging appearance on the skin. Resembling elongated worms, they afflict 10-20% of the adult population. Small “spider veins” or telangiectasias are a form of varicose vein disease, and often are the first sign of venous insufficiency. This circulatory disorder may present in a spectrum of many forms from spider veins to ulceration.
There is new safe, effective outpatient treatment using minimally invasive technology to treat varicose vein disease. Maryland Vein Professionals is pleased to offer the VNUS Closure® Procedure as part of a comprehensive array of treatment modalities for varicose vein disease. Using the new VNUS Fastcath®, treatment times are less than 2 minutes, and patients are in and out of the office in 60-90 minutes. The Closure Procedure allows return to normal activity the same day, is done with little or no pain and is covered by most insurance. The treatment is performed in an outpatient surgicenter by Dr. Calure, who is Board Certified in Cardiovascular and General Surgery.
All too often women and men defer seeking care for their venous insufficiency, as varicose veins are frequently mischaracterized as a cosmetic problem. Sadly, some do not seek treatment until complications such as clots, ulcers or bleeding develop. Schedule a free physician evaluation today.
