ACS Q&A with Dr. Trey Baucum – How Can You Treat Varicose Veins?

If you have varicose veins and your cardiologist determines that you have chronic venous reflux disease, there is a procedure called radiofrequency ablation of the greater saphenous vein that may be recommended.

This is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. It is very successful in treating the most common form of varicose veins.

If your legs are bothering you because of varicose veins, you should have them evaluated to determine whether this treatment may be appropriate for you.
