Stenting for Varicose Veins
Venous Stenting Vein Treatment in Atlanta
What Is Stenting?
Venous Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure performed
by interventional radiologists to open blocked or narrowed veins and restore
healthy blood flow.
This treatment is often used for patients with chronic venous obstruction or
deep vein narrowing, conditions that can cause leg swelling, pain, and fatigue.
At Advanced Vascular & Vein, our board-certified specialists use image-guided precision techniques to place stents within the affected veins, helping patients experience lasting relief and improved circulation without surgery or prolonged recovery.
Is Venous Stenting Right for You?
You may be a candidate for venous stenting if you
experience chronic venous symptoms due to vein narrowing, scarring, or
compression.
Common signs and conditions include:
- Persistent
leg swelling (especially one-sided)
- Leg
pain, heaviness, or fatigue
- Skin
discoloration or thickening near the ankles
- Non-healing
wounds or venous ulcers
- History
of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- May-Thurner
Syndrome or a compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac
artery
- Pelvic
congestion or chronic pelvic pain (in women)
If your symptoms persist despite compression therapy or
conservative treatment, venous stenting may offer long-term relief by
addressing the root cause: restricted venous blood flow.
Benefits of Venous Stenting
