Your Vein Health Requires: Medical expertise, advanced techniques and people who care…

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
