Venous insufficiency is a condition where the valves in the veins that carry blood back to the heart prevent blood from flowing backward. As a result, blood accumulates in the veins of the legs since they are furthest from the heart, often causing varicose veins to form.

We create a detailed treatment plan aimed at effectively treating all of your symptoms as well as the underlying causes of your venous insufficiency. The sooner you seek medical attention for your symptoms, the more treatment options you have and an easier recovery.

Venous diseases are almost always covered by typical insurance plans.For patients whose vein treatment costs are not covered, we also offer a variety of funding options including CareCredit, HelpCard*, HSA or FSA accounts for all of our vein clinics. The sooner you seek treatment for varicose veins and spider veins, the greater the chances that treatment will be successful. When the valves in the blood vessels don't work properly, blood pools and expands the vein to the point of creating bumps in the skin. Patients will have access to an even stronger network of doctors specializing in the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. When the delicate valves in the veins in the legs lose their proper function, it results in venous reflux which causes a congestion of blood within the veins of the leg. The long saphenous vein that runs through the inside of the leg from groin to ankle, and short saphenous vein that runs along outside of leg from knee to ankle are prone to developing these broken valves that cause venous reflux. In addition, if you have severe pain, swelling, tenderness in your legs or if they feel warm to touch then you may have condition called May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS) also known as iliac vein compression syndrome.
As explained in Vein Problems tab almost all patients with varicose vein problems have some degree of heaviness, discomfort or swelling in their legs even if they have become accustomed to these problems over time. When valves weaken and are damaged as result of blood clot in veins of legs or due to pelvic tumors or other factors then veins stop working as needed. St. Louis Heart and Vascular offers several treatment options to correct problems associated with venous insufficiency.
