Evaluation & Treatment of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear on the legs and can cause discomfort and cosmetic concerns. Common symptoms include bulging, blue or purple veins, aching or throbbing pain, muscle cramps, swelling, and a heavy feeling in the legs. Our clinic offers advanced varicose vein treatments to provide relief and improve the appearance. Our minimally invasive procedures, such as endovenous thermal ablation , effectively target and close off the affected veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. With our specialized team of vascular experts, patients can expect safe and personalized care, restoring comfort and confidence in their legs.

Introducing Varithena! A nearly painless way to treat varicose veins and vein disease.

Varithena, approved by the FDA in 2013, is an clinically proven treatment for varicose veins that combines guided ultrasound with an injectable microfoam is now available for patients at Cardiology Associates of West Texas. Currently, it is the only therapy of its kind to have received FDA approval. Varithena effectively improves the appearance of varicose veins caused by vein disease and diseased superficial veins as well as symptoms such as heaviness, achiness, swelling, throbbing and itching (HASTI™ symptoms).


When Varithena (1% polidocanol injectable foam) is introduced into a diseased vein via guided ultrasound, the blood within is displaced and the vein begins to collapse. This collapse of the vein stops the backflow of blood from occurring and redirects blood upward and into nearby healthy veins that can handle the optimal flow. After the office treatment, patients can return home and resume most activities the same day. The over 300,000+ Varithena treatments, 12 clinical studies and 25+ peer-reviewed publications demonstrate Varithena’s proven safety and effectiveness.
