Venous Stasis Leg Ulcer, Varicose Veins and CVI Healed through Vein Treatment at JVAI

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:01:09 +0000

Featured Vein Treatment JVAI Case:

Barbara’s varicose veins and persistent unhealed venous leg ulcer, leg swelling and other venous disease symptoms were cured through out-patient state-of-the-art vein treatment at JVAI.

Barbara S, a 77 year old white female came to see us because of a calf wound that failed to heal, leg swelling, and prominent varicose veins. Barbara reported the usual complaints associated with venous disease: difficulty standing and walking, sleep disturbances, leg pain and an overall poor quality of life. She told us that the wound was due to an injury that had been present for many months. During her examination, we noted many venous stasis changes that are typical signs of underlying venous disease. Besides spider veins, varicose veins and swelling in her left and right lower legs, Barbara also had early hemosiderosis, a brownish discoloration that occurs around the ankle and lower tibial area from blood cell breakdown when venous hypertension is present. Barbara had no symptoms of classic claudication associated with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

It appeared from Barbara’s history and physical that her problems were secondary to an underlying condition caused by damaged one-way valves in her deep veins called chronic venous insufficiency or CVI. We proceeded to perform an ultrasound evaluation using our customized equipment that is highly accurate in detecting the exact areas of pathology. During this painless diagnostic vein ultrasound procedure, we determined that Barbara’s problem was due to competence of her subfascial venous perforators and great/small saphenous vein systems. Barbara underwent surgical vein treatment procedures in our state-of-the-art operating room within our office. During her procedures, she remained awake and comfortable. Following a short recovery, Barbara experienced complete healing of her wound and the elimination of her spider veins, varicose veins and all other symptoms.

Barbara S, our patient, had this to say…

The reason for my visit initially was for swelling and a non-healing wound of my right leg. The swelling has ceased completely and the wound has healed. I was impressed with the sterile environment and the comfort of the waiting room. The staff was very accommodating.” Barbara S.

We know how painful, unsightly venous disorders from spider veins, varicose veins to leg ulcers and other serious venous disease can compromise the quality of your life. At JVAI, we make it our mission to heal your underlying problem with state-of-the-art treatments that are safe, effective, affordable and convenient.

How JVAI is different from wound care and other vein treatment centers…

Had Barbara gone to a wound care center for her venous stasis leg ulcer, she might still have her ulcer and continue to suffer from untreated venous disease.

Many patients with venous leg ulcers are referred to wound centers for treatment. Patients often undergo treatments in these centers three times per week for many months. With open wounds that are prone to infection, they experience a tremendous alteration in their life style. Wound care can deplete a patient’s finances, compromise their ability to work and enjoy activities with family and friends. Even when the ulcer heals through wound care, there is no improvement in the underlying venous problem and it is not uncommon for the leg ulcer to reoccur.

Had Barbara gone to a cosmetic vein treatment center for her varicose veins, she would still be suffering from underlying venous disease.

Hopefully with Barbara’s symptoms, physicians in a cosmetic vein clinic would have referred her to a phlebologist or vein specialist. Problems caused by high pressure causing a backward flow of blood toward the legs are not eliminated by cosmetic vein treatment procedures. Had Barbara been treated for a cosmetic varicose vein problem only, she would have paid the entire amount out of her pocket and would be very unhappy when in a short amount of time, varicose veins and spider veins appeared in other parts of her legs. she would still be suffering from leg cramps, pain and swelling. Her venous stasis leg ulcer and brownish leathery-looking skin on her legs might develop into cellulitis, a serious infection of the tissue surrounding the open wound.

State-of-the-art vein treatment at JVAI is designed to identify and treat underlying venous disease, when it is present…

Douglas H. Joyce, D.O., JVAI’s founder and owner is a triple board certified vascular surgeon, general surgeon and phlebologist (vein specialist). Through state-of-the-art vascular surgery for venous disease, he has pioneered procedures and developed surgical techniques that raise the bar for vein treatment – taking it from a hospital procedure requiring general anesthesia with a much longer recovery to a quick and painless office procedure with the patient awake and recovering in just a few days. An accurate diagnosis using specialized ultrasound technology that we customized, allows us to define the exact pathology and procedures for correcting the problem. Our diagnosis and treatment of venous disease is generally covered by Medicare and private insurance.

We cured Barbara S of her leg ulcer, varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency or CVI, and we can help you too. Whether you are bothered by the unsightly appearance of your veins or are seeking a proper evaluation and treatment for symptoms of a more serious problem, contact us. Your evaluation and treatment is often covered by insurance and Medicare.

American Health Journal Choosing a Vein Surgeon Video Aired on Wink TV

admin — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:00:33 +0000

This important video segment about choosing a vein surgeon was produced by American Health Journal and aired on Wink TV.

In this video produced by American Health Journal and aired on Wink TV, Douglas H. Joyce, D.O., FACOS, triple board certified cardiovascular surgeon and vein doctor in Punta Gorda, Florida was interviewed about how to choose a vein doctor. Dr. Joyce explains that vein treatment is a specialty called “Phlebology” and doctors who are board certified in phlebology are more interested and focused on the patients specific needs and better qualified to provide state-of-the-art treatment that addresses and cures the underlying vein disease problem. Watch the video and share it with anyone you know who suffers from aching, tired, swollen, discolored legs with prominent varicose veins and/or leg ulcers.

More About Vein Treatment

What are the treatment options for spider veins?

Today, many providers treat spider veins with a laser, sclerotherapy, or a combination of both. Sclerotherapy is a rather simple procedure of injecting spider veins with an agent that causes them to collapse. Lasers are a safe, non-invasive and highly effective treatment for those spider veins too small to inject. Laser spider vein treatment at JVAI is primarily provided with our 940 nm Medipulse laser system. This cutting edge technology erases spider veins right before the patient’s eyes with very little discomfort.

How is venous disease treatment at JVAI different from other vein centers?

Over a decade ago, Dr. Douglas H. Joyce, D.O., a triple board certified surgeon and phlebologist, became increasingly aware of numerous patients with a poor quality of life who suffered from misdiagnosed and mismanaged venous disease. This prompted him to shift his focus from the practice of open heart and trauma surgery to vein treatment.

Always on the cutting edge for providing safe, effective, comfortable, convenient and affordable care, Dr. Joyce accomplished what no other vein treatment practice could do – provide a permanent cure for such problems as venous leg ulcers, varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency in an office setting with the patient awake, comfortable and able to resume normal activity within a very short time.

The Word Got Out…

It didn’t take long before patients arrived at JVAI from all over North America for state-of-the-art vein treatment that eliminated their suffering. Many of these patients experienced a lifetime of debilitating pain, mismanagement and treatment failures related to their venous disorders. They arrived at JVAI desperate for answers that would give them back a quality of life.

Setting a New Standard in Venous Disease Treatment…

Originally Dr. Joyce pioneered the Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery or SEPS procedure for incompetent perforator veins, performing one of the highest volumes of SEPS procedures and achieving over a 96% cure rate of venous ulcers. Although SEPS worked well for the most part, it required hospitalization and general anesthesia which was expensive and contributed to a number of complications. This motivated Dr. Joyce to pioneer less invasive technologies that would cure venous disease in the office setting.

For many years now, Dr. Joyce has developed, refined and successfully used Laser Ablation surgical techniques for the treatment of incompetent venous perforators and saphenous veins that offer a permanent cure for venous leg ulcers, varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Through his methods, Dr. Joyce has achieved a 96% success rate with virtually no complications. His surgical venous procedures have proved to be highly effective and well tolerated in the office setting with the patient awake and comfortable. At the 2009 American College of Phlebology’s 23rd Annual Congress, Dr. Joyce presented data that unequivocally proved his vein treatment techniques to be the safest and most effective treatment. Vein treatment physicians from all over the country come to Dr. Joyce to learn his revolutionary venous surgery techniques.

What Patients Can Expect…

Vein treatment procedures for spider veins, varicose veins, venous leg ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency are performed at JVAI in an office procedure without discomfort, with the patient awake and comfortable and with minimal post-operative recovery time. If you suffer from venous disease, request an appointment and find out what we can do to eliminate your venous disease problem.

Is venous disease treatment covered by insurance and Medicare?

When it is determined that venous disease is present, the venous diagnostic evaluation and vascular surgery vein treatment is often covered by Medicare and private insurance. When performed for cosmetic purposes only, spider vein and varicose vein treatment are solely the patient’s financial responsibility. Our front office will gladly assist you in the insurance reimbursement process when that option is available.

What is the SEPS procedure and why is it no longer used at JVAI?

Over the past decade, Dr. Joyce has become a leader in the vein treatment field. Originally in 1998, he pioneered the Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery or SEPS procedure for the treatment of incompetent perforator veins, performing one of the highest volumes of SEPS procedures and achieving over a 96% cure rate of venous ulcers.

Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery or SEPS is used to correct incompetence of the venous perforator system—a major cause of severe venous disease and leg ulcers. Many patients with ulcerations of the ankle were cured through the SEPS procedure. This minimally invasive procedure is performed utilizing a small television camera system that is introduced into the leg in an outpatient surgery setting. Small titanium clips are placed to close off the leaking perforator veins. The entire procedure is performed through a 1-inch incision just below the knee. Correction of this problem reduces leg swelling and significantly aids in the healing of chronic leg ulcers. Dr. Joyce performed over 600 of these surgeries over a three year period, one of the highest volumes in the country. The results were excellent with 94% of patients healing their ulcers.

Although SEPS worked well with excellent results, it required hospitalization and general anesthesia which was expensive and inconvenient for patients. Dr. Joyce made it his mission to provide the same or an improved treatment outcome through procedures that could be performed within the office setting using local anesthesia. He began to pioneer two new less invasive technologies and within a short period of time, totally replaced SEPS with VNUS radiofrequency closure and laser ablation. VNUS radiofrequency closure was initially performed in over 1800 cases with excellent results but has been replaced exclusively with laser ablation—a procedure that is faster, more comfortable, less expensive to perform and associated with a higher success rate. Over 1500 laser ablations have been performed with excellent results and negligible complications.

What is vein stripping and why should it be avoided?

Incompetence of the greater saphenous vein has traditionally been treated by vein stripping – an outdated vascular surgery procedure associated with a long and painful convalescence. Patients present with venous disease leg symptoms that may include swelling, pain, prominent varicose veins and skin discoloration with or without ulceration. The procedure almost always involves removal of the greater saphenous vein which lies along the inside of the thigh and lower leg. An incision is made in the groin to tie off and divide the top of the vein. A vein stripper is then inserted into the vein. It is generally pushed through the vein above the knee and brought through the skin by a second incision. A small stripping device is then connected to the stripper and it is pulled back through the leg tearing the vein out with it. Pressure is then applied to the leg to reduce bleeding. This procedure is uncomfortable for the patient post-operatively and may result in bruising under the skin that can take months to completely resolve.

What is Venous Perforator Laser Ablation for leg ulcer treatment?

Most ulcers of the lower legs and serious venous disease are caused by incompetence of perforator veins in the calf. These incompetent veins generally occur on the inside of the ankle. Ultrasound scans performed at our facility almost always show incompetent perforator veins lying beneath the leg ulcer or other serious venous changes. The answer to chronic venous insufficiency with all its related symptoms is to remove the dysfunctional perforator veins. Douglas H. Joyce, D. O., founder of JVAI, initially pioneered the Subfascial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery or SEPS procedure for the treatment of perforator disease in 1998. Approximately 96% of leg ulcers were completely healed with SEPS.

Over the past several years, Dr. Joyce’s goal to move treatment from the hospital to the office environment and reduce complications and costs, led him to pioneer the use of laser ablation for the treatment incompetent venous perforators. This less invasive office procedure has proved to be highly effective and well tolerated. Completely replacing the SEPS procedure, venous perforator laser ablation performed under local anesthesia, has successfully treated over 99% of venous stasis leg ulcers. Patients are able to resume normal activities within a few days and the ulcers completely heal within several months.

What is Varicose Vein Microphlebectomy?

Varicose veins are removed by Microphlebectomy at JVAI. This European technique involves removing the prominent veins through tiny needle punctures, virtually leaving no scars. It is quick and relatively painless and produces superior results than traditional treatment. We treat patients of all ages, both male and female. Using Microphlebectomy, we have satisfactorily treated a number of young aerobic instructors and models who were looking for a superior cosmetic result. Sclerotherapy is also utilized for smaller varicose veins when indicated.

What is Saphenous Vein Laser Ablation for varicose vein treatment?

At the Joyce Vein & Aesthetic Institute, Great and Small Saphenous Vein Laser Ablation is used as an alternative to obsolete vein stripping procedures for the treatment of varicose veins of the saphenous system. In this procedure, a small diameter laser filament is inserted into the vein through a needle puncture. This is done right in our office with minimal anesthesia. The laser filament is connected to a laser system that closes off the greater saphenous vein from the inside. There is very little trauma to the leg and almost no bruising. Postoperative discomfort is minimal. Patient satisfaction is high. In fact, patients who have had vein stripping of the other leg have stated that they wish they had waited until this laser technology was available before having their previous procedure.

No Downtime Laser Ablation Eliminates Spider Veins Before your Eyes

Are red and blue spider veins showing up on your face as bothersome telltale signs of aging?

A simple laser skin rejuvenation treatment can take care of your facial spider veins in a non-surgical NO DOWNTIME procedure at JVAI in Punta Gorda, FL.

More About Facial Spider Veins and Broken Capillaries

Millions of people are bothered by unsightly facial spider veins — tiny blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. These broken capillaries often appear on the cheeks, nose, chin, neck and décolletage. Although spider veins or broken capillaries are purely a cosmetic concern, they detract from natural beauty and can be a source of embarrassment.

Facial spider veins develop for many reasons ranging from genetic susceptibility, disorders such as rosacea, sun exposure, aging, and environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions, diet and alcohol.

Effective Laser Spider Vein Treatments

Laser spider vein treatment is highly effective in eliminating facial spider veins and broken capillaries in one to three painless, no downtime sessions. At JVAI, spider veins disappear right before your eyes when treated with the Dornier Medilas D Flexipulse 940 nm laser. Also available at JVAI, elōs laser spider vein treatments combine laser with low radio frequency energy to effectively and gently remove unsightly red spots and spider veins, facilitate cellular renewal, stimulate collagen and enhance the overall function of treated skin. In both of these methods, energy is precisely delivered, targeting the broken blood vessels without harming surrounding skin. The best method of facial spider vein removal is determined during an evaluation by our medical aesthetic professional.

A Venous Stasis Leg Ulcer Cure Saved Patient’s Leg and Gave Him Back His Life

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:00:14 +0000

Venous stasis leg ulcer PERMANENT CURE saved patient’s leg after 17 years of treatment failures.

Stephen V came to us in 2009, desperate to find an alternative to amputation recommended because of a 17-year history of failed treatments to heal his right foot leg ulcer. Starting as a brown recluse spider bite, none of the long list of physicians he had seen recognized his underlying venous disease problem. As a result, almost two decades of mismanagement robbed him of a quality life. In fact, because of severe pain and wound drainage, Stephen had to give up his job that he loved at Universal Studios where he played Frankenstein. When Stephen arrived at JVAI vein treatment center, we immediately knew that his problem was venous disease. During an evaluation and diagnostic exam with state-of-the-art ultrasound technology that we customized, we confirmed that Stephen had serious deep vein incompetence in his perforator system. His diagnosis was venous stasis leg ulcer and chronic venous insufficiency. This resulted in high blood pressure in his leg veins causing the backward flow of blood with symptoms including swelling, discoloration, skin thickening and a venous stasis leg ulcer. He was also at high risk for a severe infection of the tissues surrounding his ulcer called cellulitis. Stephen underwent laser ablation vascular surgery in our state-of-the-art vein center. He was awake and comfortable during his procedures and had a rapid and complete recovery. After only two surgeries, Stephen was totally healed.

Stephen V, the patient, had this to say…

“I came to Dr. Joyce in 2009 for problems with my left foot from a Brown Recluse Spider bite that I got in 1992. My foot would never be the same again; it took 10 months to heal. Before the healing took place, the doctors wanted to amputate it. In 2006 it opened again. An infectious disease doctor worked on it for 9 months. Then with all this trouble & still an open wound, I went to Wal-Mart & met the Welcome Lady, Joni, who told me about Dr. Joyce. “She was an Angel from Heaven.” I met Dr. Joyce & he said “We can fix that” & after one surgery the pain was gone & my foot started to heal. After the 2nd surgery it healed completely. Thank God for Dr. Joyce, I don’t know how I can ever repay his kindness & the kindness of his whole staff !!!! THANK YOU for an EXCELLENT job well done. I LOVE all my family @ Doctor Joyce’s office.” –Stephen V.

How JVAI is different from cosmetic vein treatment centers…

Most vein treatment centers not operated and staffed by Board Certified Phlebologists (venous disease experts) are not equipped or capable of diagnosing or treating underlying venous pathology.

The first and most important step when seeking treatment for spider veins, varicose veins or leg ulcers with associated symptoms of venous disease is to understand the cause of the condition. Physicians and surgeons who are not phlebologists (board certified vein specialists), are often ill-prepared to accurately diagnose and properly treat the exact pathology that produces these symptoms. Even among vein treatment specialists, there is often a reliance on diagnostics and vascular surgery procedures that are not state-of-the-art, require hospitalization for general anesthesia, and are associated with more complications, a longer procedure time and a longer time for recovery.

Had Stephen V followed the advise of his prior physicians, he would have undergone an amputation of his right foot and would still be suffering from underlying venous disease.

Although Stephen’s ulcer would be gone with his foot, he would have been extremely unhappy when his symptoms of venous disease did not subside. Stephen would still be suffering from leg cramps and pain. He would likely develop more progressive symptoms from his untreated venous disease problem, including the potential to develop another venous leg ulcer.

Vein treatment at JVAI vein treatment center is designed to identify the exact cause and provide treatment for the underlying venous disease, when it is present…

We cured Stephen V of his venous stasis leg ulcer and chronic venous insufficiency and we can help you too.

Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment Hiding Serious Venous Disease

Ugly Superficial Veins or Something More? A Cosmetic Spider Vein Treatment that led to the CURE of an Underlying Venous Disease Problem Paid for by Insurance.

When Helen R came to us for removing her unsightly spider veins, it was apparent during her history and physical that she also had symptoms of venous disease – prominent, painful, bulging varicose veins and complaints of leg cramping, leg pain and problems with prolonged standing and walking as well as sleeping. An ultrasound confirmed incompetence in her venous perforator and saphenous vein systems. Her spider vein treatment was accomplished through a combination of laser and foam sclerotherapy along with procedures to correct her varicose veins and venous disease. All vascular surgery vein treatment was performed in the office while Helen remained awake and comfortable. Following a short recovery, she was delighted with her complete elimination of spider veins, varicose veins, venous disease and associated symptoms.

Helen R, the patient, had this to say…

I first came to the Joyce Vein & Aesthetic Institute to inquire about removing ugly spider veins and found out to completely remove them I had to treat the perforator and varicose veins. I was very impressed to find out that here in Punta Gorda we had Dr. Joyce who pioneered this procedure and teaches internationally. The procedures were not painful and I could walk right away and had no pain in the following days. I had three different sessions on each leg and what a difference in the appearance…I can wear shorts again!” Helen R.

Cosmetic vein treatment centers not operated and staffed by Board Certified Phlebologists (venous disease experts) are not equipped or capable of diagnosing or treating underlying venous pathology.

The first and most important step when seeking spider vein and varicose vein treatment is to understand the cause of the condition. It is not uncommon for podiatrists, dermatologists, internists and other practitioners to take a weekend training on cosmetic treatment for spider and varicose veins and add vein treatment to their list of services. Problems caused by high pressure causing a backward flow of blood toward the legs are not eliminated by cosmetic vein treatment procedures.

Cosmetic Varicose Vein Removal will not Eliminate Venous Disease

admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:00:21 +0000

If you are suffering from varicose veins, make sure you read this before you rush out to a vein clinic and choose a varicose vein removal procedure from someone who is not a phlebologist (vein specialist).

Will that cosmetic varicose vein treatment get rid of your unsightly leg veins – absolutely. But most likely they come back in other parts of your legs. You see, cosmetic procedures for vein removal do not take care of the underlying problem. Left untreated, those problems in your venous system will produce leg pain, swelling, skin discoloration, spider veins, varicose veins and even venous leg ulcers – a severe consequence of untreated venous disease.

Douglas Joyce, DO, phlebologist and triple board certified cardio vascular surgeon founded and operates JVAI, a state-of-the-art vein center in Punta Gorda, Florida. His mission is to give patients with varicose veins and other forms of venous disease, a more permanent cure through minimally invasive office procedures. Through Dr. Joyce’s methods, he has successfully achieved a 96% success rate with virtually no complications for such venous problems as varicose veins, venous leg ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency. Cosmetic varicose vein removal is achieved through Microphlebectomy while Great and Small Saphenous Vein Laser Ablation effectively treats most underlying varicose vein pathology and keeps it from coming back – something that no cosmetic procedure alone can accomplish.
