With a focus on patient satisfaction, our goal is to improve your quality of life.

    Diagnosis

    Following your initial screening, a vascular specialist will determine whether you are a candidate for further evaluation or treatment. If indicated, our specialists will perform a thorough examination and schedule you for an ultrasound to confirm the presence of venous disease and venous insufficiency. The ultrasound is a non-invasive exam that uses sound waves to image the veins and the valves inside of veins. This exam typically takes approximately one hour to complete. The specialist will go over the results and develop a tailored treatment plan.

    Sclerotherapy

    An injection into the blood vessels that causes them to shrink. This treatment is used to treat varicose or spider veins.

    Ambulatory Microphlebectomy

    Following your initial screening, a vascular specialist will determine whether you are a candidate for further evaluation or treatment. If indicated, our specialists will perform a thorough examination and schedule you for an ultrasound to confirm the presence of venous disease and venous insufficiency. The ultrasound is a non-invasive exam that uses sound waves to image the veins and the valves inside of veins. This exam typically takes approximately one hour to complete.

    Radiofrequency ablation

    Heat energy helps to seal off varicose veins, providing immediate relief of symptoms. There is little to no pain with radiofrequency ablation.

    Venaseal Ablation

    This procedure uses an FDA approved medical adhesive to close the vein. Your doctor will inject local anesthesia and apply some pressure to the vein as it is being sealed.

    Varithena Sclerotherapy

    A gentle microfoam is injected into the varicose vein. This procedure takes less than one hour and can be completed in as little as 1-2 injections.

    Hand Rejuvenation Offer By Pima Heart & Vascular

    As time passes, skin elasticity decreases, and we lose fat tissue on the back of the hand. This causes veins on the hands to bulge and become more visible. Sun exposure can also impact skin elasticity and collagen breakdown over time.

    Trust the expertise of Pima Heart & Vascular physicians now offering an office-based, minimally invasive stitchless procedure, called a microphlebectomy, to reduce the appearance of bulging veins.

    How the procedure works:

    A microphlebectomy requires very small incisions near the enlarged veins. The surgeon first numbs the area with a local anesthetic. After making the incisions, he or she inserts a surgical hook into the veins to remove them. These veins have no pain fibers so they can be painlessly removed. You will not need any stitches because the incisions are so tiny. Steri-strips and Band-Aids are applied, and a custom compression glove is used as the dressing. The glove must be worn continuously for three days and must be kept dry, but full hand motion is encouraged. Most patients will not require any post procedural pain medication.
