Varicose Vein Treatment

Love Your Legs Again With Varicose Vein Treatment

MercyOne Clinton Medical Center became one of the first hospitals in Eastern Iowa to treat patients with venous reflux disease using the VenaSealTM closure system when it installed a new vein treatment room with state-of-the-art equipment. MercyOne Clinton provides area residents with high-quality, local options for vein treatment so you can get relief from varicose veins and have confidence to love your legs again.

Venous reflux disease affects more than 30 million people in the U.S. and over 190 million globally. It occurs when valves in the veins of the lower leg no longer function properly. This allows blood to flow backward, or reflux, resulting in varicose veins as well as other symptoms. Varicose veins are often misunderstood as a cosmetic problem and many people living with them do not seek treatment.

Varicose veins may be a sign of a more serious condition known as chronic venous insufficiency, which in severe cases, can result in lifestyle-limiting lower leg pain, swelling, skin damage, and ulcerations.

VenaSeal™ is a new, minimally invasive procedure that uses an advanced medical adhesive to close the diseased vein and improve blood flow in patients with symptomatic venous reflux disease. Other procedures for vein treatment are provided by physicians through MercyOne, and all are covered by most insurances.

Patients treated with the VenaSeal™ closure system often have minimal to no bruising and can return quickly to normal activities. Unlike other heat-based treatments, VenaSeal™ does not require tumescent anesthesia (multiple injections of a dilute local anesthetic) and eliminates the risk of burning or nerve injury associated with thermal based procedures.
