Venous Disease in Flower Mound

Venous Disease in Flower Mound

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.

Common Venous Conditions

  • 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

Symptoms of Venous Disease

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.

Evaluation & Diagnosis

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.

Treatment Options for Venous Disease

  • Medical & Lifestyle Management
    • Medications to reduce swelling and improve vein health
    • Heart-healthy lifestyle to support circulation
  • Compression Therapy
    • Graduated compression stockings to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms
    • Guidance on proper use and fit
  • Interventional Procedures
    • 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.
