Although you might not recognize its technical name, “vascular disease” is a disfiguring condition that sometimes takes the form of what is more commonly known as varicose veins or spider veins. Our vein specialists understand the many potential issues connected to such progressive problems with veins. Patients suffer with health problems as well as challenges with self-image because of disorders related to their veins.

Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood to the heart despite gravity.

Venous reflux disease develops when the valves become damaged therefore they will not close properly leading to the following symptoms

Dr. Pierre R. Clero MD.

Spider veins are small red or blue veins that spread out like tree branches on the surface of the skin. These clusters of enlarged capillaries are a smaller version of varicose veins and a less serious type of blood vessel clusters (telangiectasias). They often appear on the legs, feet, face, ears or nose. At VIP DOHA, we see spider veins that affect both women and men, although they seem to appear more frequently on women (50-55%). They can also appear on children.

The closure procedure can be performed under local anesthetic, on a walk in walk out basis.

Under ultra-sound guidance the “ClosureFast” catheter is introduced into the diseased vein through a small opening in the skin.

The tiny catheter, powered by radio-frequency (RF.) energy delivers heat into the vein wall. As the thermal energy is delivered, the vein wall shrinks and the vein is sealed closed. Once the diseased vein is closed the blood flow is rerouted to other healthy veins.
