The Vein Clinic at SMIL
is part of Scottsdale Medical Imaging, the largest and
most established medical imaging and image-guided intervention
practice in Scottsdale. That is important to you because
the accurate evaluation for the cause of varicose vein
disease depends upon proper imaging, and because many
of the treatments for varicose veins are done through
minimally
invasive techniques utilizing ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound
is an imaging method that uses highfrequency sound waves
to produce precise images of structures within your
body.
The interventional radiologists
at The Vein Clinic have specialized training in using
the imaging tools to establish the correct diagnosis,
and in using real-time imaging as a guide during catheterbased
or injection treatments. The interventional radiologists
at SMIL are certified by the American Board of Radiology
in both Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
After your initial consultation,
a complete venous ultrasound evaluation is used to identify
the source of the varicose veins and guide treatment.
Once the source of the problem is identified, we will
provide you with a treatment plan that may include one
of the following procedures:
Endovenous
Laser Ablation (EVLA)
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Sclerotherapy
