What is Dr. Mele’s approach to venous insufficiency?
Dr. Mele starts with diagnosis, not treatment. He uses duplex ultrasound to see how blood moves through your leg veins in real time. This shows whether your symptoms are caused by faulty valves, and if so, which veins are involved.
If treatment is appropriate, the ultrasound findings guide which technique makes sense for your anatomy. RFA for larger veins. Sclerotherapy for spider veins and smaller branches. Sometimes both. The recommendation follows from what the scan shows, not a standard protocol applied to everyone.
