When veins fail to pump blood efficiently back to the heart, blood can pool in the lower limbs, leading to swelling, discomfort, and even non-healing ulcers. If left untreated, severe cases may even result in tissue damage and amputation. At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, we offer advanced varicose vein treatments to restore proper circulation and help you reclaim your mobility.
Varicose veins develop when veins become enlarged, twisted, and unable to circulate blood efficiently. If left untreated, they may cause discomfort and lead to complications. Symptoms of varicose veins include:
Veins in the legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart. Tiny valves help keep blood flowing in the right direction, but when they weaken or get damaged, blood can pool, causing varicose veins. This leads to swollen, twisted veins that may cause aching, heaviness, or discomfort, especially after standing or sitting for long periods.
Varicose veins are generally harmless but can become more pronounced over time, even with precautionary measures. Although they rarely lead to severe complications, ignoring them may increase the risk of leg ulcers, blood clots, or chronic swelling. If surgery isn’t required, routine medical check-ups can help track any changes and prevent potential issues.
Stay vigilant for signs like swelling in the feet or ankles or an open sore near a varicose vein. Addressing these symptoms early can help you maintain better vein health. In most cases, varicose veins do not result in serious medical conditions.

At Heart Vascular and Leg Center, our specialists provide comprehensive varicose vein care under one roof. Using state-of-the-art technology, we offer treatments without surgery, pain, or hospital stays. Get your varicose veins treated in a quick, comfortable procedure—so easy you can drive yourself back to work the same day. Varicose vein treatment options include:
An angiogram is an advanced imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast dye to map your blood vessels, helping detect blockages or abnormalities in circulation.
During angioplasty, a low-profile catheter with an inflatable balloon is used to stretch the affected artery open. This process restores blood flow to the rest of the body. In cases where a clot is blocking the artery, medicine can be administered through the catheter.
Using cutting-edge technology, including orbital and rotational devices, atherectomy removes built-up plaque from arteries. This method is ideal for cases where stents aren’t suitable, ensuring better blood flow.
IVC filter placement is a life-saving procedure where a small device is inserted into the inferior vena cava to catch blood clots before they reach the lungs.
