Raising the Bar in Vascular Care: The Importance of Accredited Venous Interventions

In the world of vascular care, accreditation is the gold standard, and at Vascular Institute of Chattanooga-VIC, we’ve achieved this distinction for both superficial and deep venous interventions. As the only accredited practice in the region, we offer our patients a level of care that stands above the rest. But what does this mean for you when it comes to choosing the right provider?

What Sets Us Apart

Accreditation is not handed out lightly. It’s a rigorous process that evaluates everything from the training of our staff to the success rates of our procedures. In other words, it’s a third-party endorsement of the high-quality care we provide to our patients.
When you choose an accredited practice like ours, you’re opting for:

• Precision: We follow strict protocols to ensure that every procedure is performed with the utmost accuracy.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: From diagnostic tools to minimally invasive procedures, we stay at the forefront of venous health treatments.
• Patient-Centered Focus: Our accredited status guarantees that patient safety and satisfaction are always at the forefront of what we do.

Superficial Venous Interventions

Many people suffer from conditions that affect their superficial veins, like varicose veins or spider veins. While these may seem like cosmetic issues, they can lead to more serious health complications if left untreated. Accredited practices offer treatments like:

• Sclerotherapy: A minimally invasive procedure that uses injections to close off affected veins.
• Varithena: A foam-based therapy designed to treat vein disorders without surgery.
• Venaseal: A medical adhesive used to seal diseased veins.
• Radiofrequency Ablation: Using heat to close off affected veins and reroute blood flow to healthier veins.

Deep Venous Interventions

Deep vein issues, including blood clots and chronic venous insufficiency, require more advanced treatment. As an accredited provider, we specialize in safe, effective deep vein procedures that help prevent serious complications like pulmonary embolism. We offer:

• DVT Treatment: Using techniques like catheter-directed thrombolysis to dissolve clots.
• Deep Venous Stenting: Placing stents in veins to ensure proper blood flow and reduce symptoms of venous obstruction.

The Value of Accreditation for Patients

Choosing an accredited provider gives you peace of mind, knowing that you’re receiving the best possible care. It means:

1. Enhanced Safety: Procedures are performed using strict safety standards, ensuring lower complication rates.
2. Long-Term Results: Accredited providers offer treatments with proven success rates, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
3. Comprehensive Care: Our practice doesn’t just treat symptoms; we work to solve the underlying venous issues, improving your overall quality of life.

When it comes to vein health, don’t settle for less than the best. Our national accreditation for superficial and deep venous interventions ensures that you receive the highest level of care.
