Varicose veins are the most frequent consultation in our specialty. Tiredness, heavy limbs, swelling, itching or cramps in the legs are common symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Performing a venous Doppler ultrasound, a specific test for circulation that is completely harmless, will help us study both the morphology and the functionality of the superficial and deep venous system of the lower extremities.
When the venous system fails, varicose veins may appear.
There are several treatments for varicose veins, and not all of them are indicated for all types of varicose veins. At the Barcelona Vascular Center we will advise you and explain the advantages and limitations of each therapy, from sclerotherapy with or without foam, to endolaser and CHIVA. All our treatments are ambulatory, so surgeries are performed without hospitalization. This approach means you are able to recover easily and lead a normal life shortly after therapy.
