Vein Removal

Lifestyle adjustments for treating varicose veins, such as elevating the legs and exercising when possible, might not be enough to relieve pressure and pain. The condition of some varicose veins – and the discomfort they cause – may make vein removal appropriate.

Using an outpatient procedure that requires anesthesia, Blank Vascular Center surgeons are able to clamp off a seriously varicose vein. They then remove it in sections or in one piece. Vein removal also may be used to treat chronic venous insufficiency.
