Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Treatment for chronic venous disease has evolved from hospital-based surgical procedures to minimally invasive office-based office procedures that provide shorter recovery periods, less postprocedural discomfort, and quicker return to normal activities. A specialty venous clinic, separate from the arterial practice, with a specialized professional health care team, provides a comfortable setting in which patients can have access to the most up-to-date treatment options. Sclerotherapy treatment for telangectasias, reticular veins, tributary varicosities, insufficient truncal veins, and incompetent perforating veins is a common therapy that is well suited for the office setting. Most office-based minimally invasive venous procedures require little or no sedation. Tumescent anesthesia is safe and effective for ambulatory phlebectomy and endovenous ablation procedures. A calm, inviting atmosphere, confident and professional health care team, and prompt access to care will improve patient satisfaction and result in a successful, growing venous practice. |
