Chicago Vascular Doctor: Vein Disease & Embolism
June 20th, 2015. Chicago, IL. Dr. Ramon Castro, a Board Certified Chicago vascular doctor and the Medical Director of Chicago Vein Care Center, has released a new article about the link between vein disease and embolism. According to Chicago vein experts at the Chicago vein treatment center, one type of vein disease known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) heightens the risk of developing embolism, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. However, DVT often presents without symptoms, putting individuals at great risk for leaving the condition unnoticed and untreated.
According to Dr. Castro, “Vein screenings allow visual representations of the inner venous structures and functions and help physicians make an accurate diagnosis.” After determining the patient’s condition, the Chicago vein treatment center can offer medically advanced venous procedures that allow for quick and effective outpatient care for a wide variety of vein disease conditions including DVT.
Dr. Castro and his medical team hope that by disseminating information on the dangers of DVT and embolism, more people will get potentially life-saving vein screenings, thereby reducing the occurrence of these life-threatening venous conditions.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins affect over 30 million people in the United States. Varicose veins are twisted, rope-like veins on the surface of the skin that may bulge and are usually bluish in color. Spider veins are small, web-like veins that appear reddish on the surface of the skin. Men and women suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, but women are more likely to have them.
The newest treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have a lot going for them. Endovenous laser treatment, sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation and microphlebectomy are all minimally invasive treatments that can be performed in a vein specialist’s office in about an hour. This means minimal downtime for the patient, few side effects, and terrific results.
