Program Description 

Chronic venous insufficiency is a common cause of leg pain and swelling, and is commonly associated with varicose veins.

Vein stripping and ligation has been the standard for treatment of bad valves for nearly 100 years, however, this procedure requires prolonged healing time and is associated with high morbidity rates. These procedures have been used along with more conservative approaches, such as diet and lifestyle changes, leg compression, and other less invasive procedures like sclerotherapy and phlebectomy. Recently, emerging laser treatments and radio frequency treatments have enjoyed better success rates and shorter recovery time than traditional stripping.
