Advanced Vein Institute accepts medical insurance as payment in full for most procedures. Expect affordable patient supply charges in certain situations in which insurance companies decline to pay for expensive supplies, drugs, sterile medical device equipment, and professional time.
Here at Advanced Vein Institute, we use the newest cutting edge technologies for diagnosing and treating varicose veins. Once such technology is the Terason Ultrasound System. This highly sophisticated medical device allows us to visualize venous abnormalities below the skin to diagnose the particular problem.
Most patients come to the Advanced Vein Surgicenter searching for a treatment for their superficial vein insufficiency. Although there are many technologies out on the market for this, one of the best has been found to be the Endovenous Laser Ablation Treatment, EVLT (www.EVLT.com) developed by Diomed. For patients with venous disease that is not very aggressive, sclerotherapy, using the only FDA approved agent, Sotradecol, can be performed.
Patients with highly aggressive venous disease, known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) have also come to the right place to treat their disease. The Advanced Vein Surgicenter is currently the only center in the world that offers the novel “Monocusp” surgery for CVI.
Developed by Dr. Opie, Thomas Izdebski, and their colleagues and extended by Dr. Payne in association with Atrium Medical, Hudson, NH with the development of the laser cut iVena (TM) vascular patch; a state of the art e-PTFE pulsatile-capable, vascular patch with a proprietary hydrostatic protection membrane making it the thinnest highly flexible vascular patch available and thus suitable for venous repair use because it does not distort the unclamped low-pressured repaired vein. The Advanced Vein Institute in conjunction with Drs. Opie and Payne was recently featured in MD News. For the full story, please click here. |
