Vein Treatment FAQs

• Q: What is vein disease?
  A: Veins return blood to the heart and lungs using pressure as well as valves. Good valves close tightly while unhealthy valves fail to close completely, leading to a medical condition called venous insufficiency and the development of spider veins or varicose veins.
• Q: What causes vein disease?
  A: Heredity is the most common predisposing factor for the development of varicose veins or spider veins. Other risk factors include age, obesity and standing occupations. Symptoms may include leg pain, swelling, fatigue and itching.
• Q: How is vein disease (venous insufficiency) diagnosed?
  A: During your initial visit, an ultrasound exam is performed and your veins are examined to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. A physician will discuss the ultrasound results with you and recommend a treatment plan.
• Q: How do I know if I am a candidate for a procedure or treatment?
  A: Scheduling an initial ultrasound and consultation is the first step in determining the cause of your vein problems. Once diagnosed, the physician will discuss treatment options.
• Q: Will my insurance cover the procedure?
  A: Many insurance companies are covering the treatment of vein disease when it is associated with symptoms such as pain, heaviness, fatigue or swollen ankles. If required by your insurance company, you will need a referral when you come to the VEIN CENTER. If a procedure is recommended, St. Paul Radiology will obtain prior authorization from your insurance company.
