Evaluation: Varicose veins is a term that is used by patients and physician to cover a wide variety of vein problems. From spider veins to ropy veins to frank venous aneurysm. Physician examination to include focused ultrasound review of the veins is key. Ultrasound review must include review of venous flow patterns looking for venous reflux or backward venous flow. Treatment is then based on findings.

Ankle varicose veins: Removing the vein through a 2mm microincision will permanently remove the vein. However, if you have other varicose veins then these veins may be due to incompetent venous valves and you may want to see a vein specialist to evaluate the status of your venous system before having a procedure.
