Why koreavein

Why do varicose veins need
to be treated by a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon?

Veins are connected to the heart.

Varicose Vein is occurred by abnormal venous valves. The thoracic & cardiovascular surgeon with abundant amount of clinical experiences on the cardiovascular system and heart including the arteries and veins is more familiar to the Varicose Vein.
Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeons focus on cardiovascular treatment.

Thoracic & cardiovascular surgeons frequently perform an incision on the veins of lower extremities for the coronary artery bypass grafting on the heart. When the coronary arteries are blocked, surgery is made on the veins of lower extremities as the bypass, and there are cases of using other arteries. Therefore, they have many clinical experiences on vascular surgery.
