Central Varicose Vein Clinic

All surgeries are performed safely using semi-sedation and local anesthesia.

Are you choosing a varicose vein hospital
based solely on the surgical equipment?

The key to treating varicose veins is not what equipment is used to perform the surgery.
It is a test and diagnosis ability that can properly find only the problematic blood vessels that require surgery among numerous blood vessels.

  • Unlike the latest equipment that can be purchased with money, the know-how to find hidden problem blood vessels that cause symptoms cannot be easily obtained without skilled clinical experience.

    Currently, the basic principle of all varicose veins treatments is to identify problem blood vessels and close them. From laser to Benacil and Clarivane, the basic principle is the same, with only the method of closing blood vessels being different.

  • Depending on the difference in the doctor's clinical experience and skill level, some doctors may judge there to be only one problematic blood vessel, while others may judge it to be ten.

    Central Varicose Vein Clinic’s vascular ultrasound test detects only problem blood vessels that ‘neither add nor subtract’, fundamentally preventing recurrence of symptoms and the possibility of overtreatment.

“If the first surgery is done well,
there will be no need for repeat surgery.”

It is commonly said that reoperations for varicose veins are frequent.
This is often because the first surgery did not go well.

Not only ‘overtreatment’ but also
undertreatment can cause harm to patients.

Vascular ultrasound, which detects problematic blood vessels causing varicose veins, can produce wildly different results depending on the experience and know-how of the medical staff.

If you lack testing experience and know-how, you may end up with the result of ‘undertreatment’, which means that there is no problem even though you have symptoms, and conversely, you may overtreat the cause of the symptoms.

In some cases, unnecessary surgery may be required.In addition to overtreatment, which can cause financial damage to patients, undertreatment, which increases the possibility that patients may not be able to find the cause of their symptoms and turn to the wrong treatment again, can also cause harm to patients.

The know-how to find hidden problem blood vessels cannot be easily obtained without skilled clinical experience.Central Varicose Vein Clinic is based on clinical data and experience accumulated from 4,899 cases over 18 years (as of the end of March 2024).With the know-how of vascular ultrasound, we are able to detect only problem blood vessels that ‘neither add nor subtract’, preventing over- and under-treatment of varicose veins.

Varicose Veins Examination & Diagnosis

Early treatment is important!

Will you carry your heavy legs until the veins are protruding on the legs?

Central’s Blood Vessel Examination System

Because the cause varies depending on the patient, the cause is diagnosed based on a detailed history and examination..

Blood vessels are in the form of a tree with branches from the root, and without experiences and know-how on blood vessel examination, problems on only the branches are treated to result in recurrence of the symptoms.
This is because the fundamental cause was not found.

Central Varicose Veins Clinic finds the exact cause of disorder in blood circulation through many years of blood vessel examination know-how and detailed examination. The problematic blood vessel that cannot be found in other hospitals are found, and this is the reason that patients come to Central Varicose Veins Clinic when recurring with the symptoms from a surgery in other hospitals.

Vascular Ultrasound

  • Varicose Veins Diagnosis

    When the period of blood backflow passes a certain level of period after the Vascular Ultrasound on the lower limbs, surgery is required. An examination can be made through Vascular Ultrasound for the proper function of the vein valves of the lower limbs, blood backflow, and the seriousness. The results can be checked immediately after the examination, and the examination result is shown to the patient with descriptions to determine the treatment direction through sufficient amount of consultation.

  • Physical Examination

    The examination performed by a doctor without the use of special machines is called a ‘physical examination.’ In the case of varicose veins, the extent and thickness of the varicose veins can be observed with the naked eye to determine whether there are complications such as dermatitis or pigmentation. The elasticity and thickness of veins can be determined by manual palpation, and an experienced thoracic surgeon can diagnose varicose veins to some extent, but an accurate diagnosis is only possible through vascular ultrasound.

  • Vascular Ultrasound
  • Normal venous ultrasound findings
  • Ultrasound findings of venous vessels requiring surgery
  • Physical Examination

CT and MRI are not necessary to diagnose varicose veins.

Some general hospitals are diagnosing varicose veins using CT and MRI, and there are many inquiries from patients about this.

  • 01

    However, CT and MRI scans are much more expensive than vascular ultrasound methods.It takes a long time, and above all, in the case of CT scans, there is a risk of radiation exposure.

  • 02

    The reason why Central Varicose Vein Clinic does not recommend CT scans and MRI scans for varicose veinsThis is because there is no need to choose over vascular ultrasound, which can observe blood movement (dynamics) at a low cost and without risk.
