Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins. They happen most often in the legs. RFA treatment uses radiofrequency to heat up the vein. This closes off blood flow to the damaged vein.
Peripheral arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the legs and feet. Over time, artery walls may thicken as they build up with plaque (a fatlike substance). As plaque builds up in an artery, blood flow can be reduced or even blocked, causing peripheral artery disease.
Problems with the veins in the legs may lead to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). CVI means that there is a long-term problem with the veins not being able to pump blood back to your heart.
If leg swelling due to chronic venous insufficiency isn't controlled, an ulcer (open wound) can form. Here's how to treat them.
