Only interventional radiologists perform “embolization,” which is the medical term for blocking off a diseased vein or artery using tiny catheters. Because of their specialized training, IR’s are able to treat a number of lifestyle-limiting vein diseases that occur in the pelvis and abdomen. Many of these vein disorders are related to pregnancy and may include Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, labial varicose veins, buttock varicose veins and groin varicose veins. Pelvic varicose veins originate above the legs and usually cannot be detected or diagnosed with only an ultrasound exam of the legs. Pelvic vein treatment, using Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy, is a painless outpatient procedure for labial varicose veins, buttock varicose veins and groin varicose veins. Most vein care physicians cannot offer you treatment of vein problems that originate deep in the pelvis or abdomen, such as pelvic congestion treatment, unless they are also interventional radiologists. VEIN911 specializes in the treatment of vein diseases that occur above the legs or anywhere else in the body using image guided, minimally invasive techniques.
