Welcome to Three Rivers Vein Center. Here at Three Rivers, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care when it comes to treating vascular disease. Our team of experts pride themselves on their cutting-edge technology, extensive experience and attention to detail in order to provide comprehensive treatment and long-lasting results for our patients.
One of the treatments offered at Three Rivers is ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, an innovative varicose vein removal procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the affected area in order to precisely target problem areas. This minimally invasive treatment is used to inject a solution directly into the vessel, resulting in the closure and disappearance of the varicose vein.
At Three Rivers Vein Center, our team will work with you every step of the way during your ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy journey – from selecting the best treatment option for your individual needs, to monitoring your progress during and after treatment. Schedule your first appointment with the top vein specialist Pittsburgh has to offer and get started on the road to healthier veins.
Interested in ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy treatment at Three Rivers Vein Center? Here’s how it works at our practice:
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a safe and effective option for treating large tortuous or twisted veins, but all treatments carry some risks. Your doctor can discuss these with you in detail before beginning treatment.
Three Rivers Vein Center is proud to offer Varithena, a minimally invasive injection treatment option that specifically targets and eliminates varicose veins. This FDA-approved procedure uses a specialized foam solution that is injected directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually disappear.
Unlike traditional surgical methods, Varithena does not require incisions or general anesthesia, resulting in minimal discomfort and downtime for patients. We utilize ultrasound guidance to ensure precise delivery of the foam and monitor progress throughout treatment.
This procedure can be used for both small surface veins and larger tortuous or twisted veins. During your consultation, your vein specialist will discuss in detail whether Varithena is the right option for you.
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy offers many benefits to patients. The use of ultrasound imaging allows for better visualization of the affected veins and more precise delivery of the solution into the vessel, resulting in improved accuracy and effectiveness of the procedure.
It also reduces discomfort for patients by preventing the solution from entering surrounding tissues, as well as reduces recovery time compared to traditional sclerotherapy due to its minimally invasive nature. Furthermore, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is effective at treating larger varicose veins that may not be able to be treated with other procedures.
The most common side effects of sclerotherapy are temporary redness, bruising, swelling and itching around the injection site. However, these side effects should resolve within a few days or weeks.
