Leg Swelling / Edema can be caused by the following:
Treatments for edema work by destroying, sealing off, or removing troublesome veins, so blood goes through healthy vessels instead. At Alliance, we use the latest protocols in minimally invasive procedures. Since only a small incision is needed, there are no stitches. Patients of edema treatments will be able to go home the same day as the procedure. Also, recovery time is much shorter than traditional surgery, so daily activities can often be resumed much faster than with traditional surgery.
As an interventional radiologist who specializes in vascular disease, Dr. Jilbert Eradat has experience in treating patients with edema and the vein conditions that can cause it. Dr. Eradat will perform a detailed clinical evaluation that may include lab testing and vascular testing such as duplex ultrasound to determine the cause of venous disease and recommend appropriate treatment.
