Image of woman after varicose vein treatmentApproximately half of the U.S. population suffers from vein problems that can be uncomfortable and unsightly, with varicose or spider veins being the most common of these disorders. Fortunately, there are treatment options that can relieve pain safely and effectively and restore a healthier appearance.

As part of MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute, our vascular surgeons at MedStar Health Vein Centers offer minimally invasive procedures at six  convenient locations throughout Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. We provide expert, compassionate care in a comfortable outpatient setting.

Signs and Symptoms

  • Visible, blue, enlarged veins in your legs
  • Aching pain, especially after long periods of standing or sitting
  • Throbbing or cramping in the thigh or calf
  • A feeling of heaviness in the leg(s)
  • Swelling in the lower leg, ankle, or foot
  • Itching in the affected limb

Left untreated, what initially appears to be a cosmetic vein problem can often lead to a more serious, progressive vein disease.

Evaluation and Treatment

Dr. Misaki Kiguchi, MD

Misaki Kiguchi, MD, leads the Vein Program for MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute.

You will benefit from comprehensive treatment in a single visit at any of our four locations. You will have the personal attention, care, and oversight of our experienced board-certified vascular surgeons who are part of MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute. As part of your evaluation and treatment plan, you’ll receive:

A comprehensive assessment including an ultrasound performed by a registered vascular technologist

One-on-one examination and consultation with a physician to discuss your specific condition and a proposed treatment plan that may include one or more of the following office-based, minimally invasive options:

  • Compression therapy: prescription-strength stockings for extra support and pressure to eliminate symptoms
  • Sclerotherapy: chemical injections into the spider and varicose veins
  • Radiofrequency ablation: thermal approach using heat ablation to eliminate damaged veins
  • Vena Seal: non-thermal approach using medical adhesive to eliminate damaged veins
  • Microphlebectomy: small, precise incisions are made along the vein to enable removal of the vein from under the skin

Once your varicose vein treatment is complete, you will have a follow-up appointment and post-procedure ultrasound.
