Venous disease occurs when the veins in the legs cannot efficiently return blood to the heart. This may lead to chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, swelling, heaviness, or skin discoloration.
At Heart & Vascular Specialists DFW, we offer expert evaluation and management of venous disorders to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve leg health and comfort.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) – veins fail to efficiently return blood to the heart, causing swelling, discomfort, and skin changes
Varicose Veins – enlarged, twisted veins visible under the skin
Leg Swelling and Heaviness – often worsened after standing or sitting for long periods
Skin Discoloration or Ulcers – chronic venous disease can lead to skin changes or non-healing wounds
Patients may experience:
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
Aching, heaviness, or cramping in the legs
Visible varicose veins
Skin discoloration or thickening
Non-healing wounds or ulcers
Itching or discomfort around affected veins
Early evaluation is important to prevent progression and complications.
Our team uses advanced imaging and testing to assess venous health:
Venous ultrasound – non-invasive imaging to evaluate vein function and detect reflux or clots
Comprehensive vascular assessment – identifies underlying risk factors and severity of disease
This evaluation allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
Medications to reduce swelling and improve vein health
Heart-healthy lifestyle to support circulation
Graduated compression stockings to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms
Guidance on proper use and fit
Referral for minimally invasive vein treatments when indicated, including ablation or sclerotherapy
Our goal is to relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and prevent long-term complications.
