Vascular Specialist at Salem Skin and Vein Specialists Continues to Learn the Latest Vein Treatment Approaches in Pursuit of Superior Patient Care

(PRWEB) April 15, 2013

For Phillip Moore, MD, lifelong learning is an integral part of his dedication to providing superior patient care. A vascular surgeon at Salem Skin and Vein Specialists, a leading vein treatment center in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. Moore recently attended the 25th anniversary meeting of the American Venous Forum, and learned some of the latest advancements in vein care.

The meeting, held in Phoenix, Arizona, is one of the premier conferences for vein specialists. Vein experts from around the country and the world gathered to discuss the latest research findings and clinical advancements. Dr. Moore attended lectures on a variety of topics in venous disease, including a particularly informative talk on pelvic venous congestion. The vein surgeon also heard about the newest improvements in varicose vein and spider vein treatment, and returned to his Winston-Salem vein center with advanced knowledge he can put directly into practice to improve patient outcomes.

Based on the information presented during the meeting, I will be making several small changes in the way I treat superficial vein disease, said Dr. Moore. For example, small modifications to our procedure for venous ablation of the greater saphenous vein should help reduce the risk of DVT after the procedure.

Dr. Moore found the conference to be highly valuable and says he will be in attendance again next year as a newly inducted member in the elite society.

Hudson Valley Ambulatory Surgery to Host Educational Event on Vascular Procedures

Middletown, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2013

For many women and men, the thought of exposing their legs in the warm spring weather leaves them cold. Unsightly varicose and spider veins cause them anxiety at minimum and pain and discomfort in more serious cases. With warm weather on the horizon, Hudson Valley Ambulatory Surgery (HVAS) will open its doors to the community on May 8, 2013 for an educational event on available vascular outpatient procedures.

Many adults put off treatment for varicose veins, so they miss the opportunity to manage this very common condition before it becomes more serious, says Robert Feldman, MD, a surgeon at HVAS. Unfortunately, people often wait to see a doctor until they are bulging, gnarled blue veins that cause throbbing, aching pain and discomfort, or more serious conditions such as skin ulcers, bleeding, and even blood clots.

HVAS will host the event, beginning at 7:00p.m. at their Middletown location. The evening will consist of informal lectures by Dr. Feldman and HVAS surgeon Elliott Mayefsky, MD, about warning signs of varicose veins as well as simple outpatient procedures HVAS provides. These procedures, such as phlebectomies and ablations (RFA), require little to no recovery time. Facility tours and physicians will be available to answer individual questions.

With all the available options, no one should needlessly suffer vein distress, advises Dr. Mayefsky. Treating varicose veins now means enjoying spring and the long, hazy, lazy days of summer just ahead.

Hudson Valley Ambulatory Surgery, LLC, is located at 75 Crystal Run Road, Suite 225, Middletown, NY 10941. For additional information, please visit http://www.hudsonvalleyambsurg.com or call 845-692-9900.

South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute Educates Public About Sclerotherapy

San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 03, 2013

This month the South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute in San Jose, California is launching a new campaign to educate the public on their choices for vein disease treatment. The center is focusing specifically on sclerotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure that is particularly effective at treating fine spider veins.

South Bay Vascular Center and Vein Institute, headed by Dr. Polly Kokinos, Dr. Jafar Tay, Dr. John Frusha, and Dr. Kim Rappaport, regularly turns to sclerotherapy to reduce the appearance of fine veins. The treatment uses only a fine needle, explains Dr. Kokinos. A local anesthetic is also applied to the treatment area, making the procedure virtually pain free.

Sclerotherapy helps reduce the appearance of spider veins by sealing the walls of the diseased vessel. Most patients are pleased with the results and are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

The vein center is turning to Facebook and Twitter to help inform the public about the benefits of this procedure. The doctors and staff hope that through the information they provide the public can make informed choices about how to address vein disease.

Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute Offers Help, Hope for Patients with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

La Vista, NE (PRWEB) June 14, 2013

The Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute in La Vista, Nebraska is providing information on how to relieve the symptoms of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome. This medical issue causes chronic pain in the pelvis and back, leaving many sufferers desperate for solutions.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is caused by varicose veins in the pelvic area. Over the counter pain relievers can help reduce symptoms in some cases. In other cases it is necessary to treat the problematic vein. Endovascular Embolization is a common treatment for Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, says Dr. Thomas Whittle, a leading vein doctor at Heartland Vein and Vascular Institute. The procedure blocks off a diseased vein from the rest of the system, helping to reduce pressure and pain.

The vein center offers support and diagnostic tools for patients struggling with this painful syndrome. They are offering more information on treating this problem through Facebook, Twitter, and an informative video.

Anyone dealing with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is encouraged to get in touch with a vein doctor. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help ease the symptoms.
