Q: Why seek treatment for your veins at an academic medical center?
A: Our collaborative multispecialty team provides evaluation and treatment for a broad range of venous abnormalities. Treated conditions including varicose veins, spider veins, vein-related leg and/or pelvic discomfort, venous-origin leg ulceration, and venous vascular malformations. Our imaging expertise allows us to treat most patients without surgery, using minimally-invasive techniques such as endovenous laser vein ablation, sclerotherapy, superficial laser therapy, microphlebectomy, radiofrequency ablation, and transvascular embolization. Noninvasive vascular imaging is performed on site, within the Northwestern vein clinic, as indicated, which allows for complete evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan creation in a single visit for most patients. Although, in some instances, a trial of conservative therapy is required prior to treatment before approval for coverage can be obtained, the majority of insurance carriers allow care for symptomatic venous abnormalities if the conservative therapy is not completely effective. Following treatment, which is performed within the clinic on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia, return to normal daily activities can occur immediately with few limitations.
