A disease called “varicose veins of the lower extremities” develops and progresses in the human body. The condition is caused by a malfunction of the venous valve gear, causing an increase in venous pressure, resulting in varicose veins.
These Varicose Veins occur for a variety of reasons and affect different organs in the human body. Separately, attention should be paid to varicose veins in the presence of malformations (congenital malformations).
Common Causes
If one of your parents is diagnosed with varicose veins, the likelihood of your occurrence is significantly increased. And even stronger if both are diagnosed. Other concerns are excess weight and lack of mobility. There are many more reasons that cause varicose veins. But the exact reason is still unknown.
Sign of Varicose veins
Varicose veins can mainly be observed on the legs, veins can ultimately develop into varicose veins in almost all regions of the body if the venous outflow is obstructed. For example, when the large abdominal vein is occluded, superficial varicose veins develop in the lower abdomen, and in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, varicose veins sometimes even develop in the lining of the esophagus.
Diagnosis Technique
The most accessible and most affordable way to diagnose varicose veins and venous insufficiency is called the “lower limb Doppler vein.” This study identifies valve regurgitation and is done in the standing position from the groin and below.
If any pelvic venous insufficiency is suspected, additional examinations such as her CT angiography (computed tomography) of the abdomen and pelvis are required in the arterial and venous phases. MRI with contrast media is essential if varicose veins are suspected to be the result of malformations (congenital malformations).
Latest treatment method of varicose vein
CLAcS is an innovative Varicose Veins Treatment of removing vascular networks and small varicose veins by combining cryo, laser, injection, and vein imaging with augmented reality machines.
Procedure
• A particular cryogenic unit provides intensive icy air to the treatment area to cool the skin intensively. This avoids discomfort without the use of anesthesia.
• The VeinViewer Augmented Reality device uses infrared to display veins up to 1.0 cm below the skin, after which the image is projected onto the skin in real-time. This allows the doctor to see the central vein and perform the procedure with complete visual control.
• The VeinViewer Augmented Reality device uses infrared to display veins up to 1.0 cm below the skin, after which the image is projected onto the skin in real-time. This allows the doctor to see the central vein and perform the procedure with complete visual control.
• Using Vein Viewer, the doctor injects chemical sclerotherapy intravenously (sclerotherapy).
• The vascular network near the skin is then laser treated, and the drug is injected.
Advantages of CLAcS intravenous therapy
• painless
• Higher effectiveness compared to traditional sclerotherapy
• There are no large bruises, and minor bruises are rapidly reabsorbed.
• No need to wear compression underwear (1 or 2 days is sufficient in advanced cases)
• Can perform routine activities (sports, work, entertainment)
• Use the Varicose Veins CLaCS to significantly reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation in the venous removal area.
Why are cracks several times more effective than sclerotherapy or laser treatment for varicose veins alone?
Together, laser and injection sclerotherapy works much better than either separately.
Cryosclerotherapy CLaCS is performed with visual control Vein Viewer, which avoids this problem and significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment. Because CLaCS targets the central veins, the improvement after the procedure will last for a more extended period.
