American Vein -- the first and only practice in Colorado to offer VenaSeal ...
Veinous disease affects more than 30 million Americans, and in many cases can hinder day-to-day activities. That's why American Vein & Vascular Institute, a Colorado-based network of vascular treatment centers, is taking the latest approach against veinous reflux by becoming the first and only provider in the state to offer the VenaSeal closure system.
The treatment works by injecting a medical grade adhesive into the vein that helps seal any leaks and improving the function of the vein, resulting in less swelling, pain, and cramping. It also doesn't require the use of compression stockings, local anesthetics, or thermal therapies that can actually burn nerve endings.
This is a simpler and more elegant treatment option than laser or radio-frequency. Patients experience less discomfort and can get back to their active lives more easily," says Dr. Gordon F. Gibbs MD, Chief Medical Executive at American Vein.
Since its FDA approval in 2015, Dr. Gibbs has been actively administering the treatment with great success as patients are experiencing less pain and less bruising than other contemporary methods of treatment. In fact, the practice has seen such great success they've been selected to become one of two elite training sites for the treatment in the western United States.
“I am honored to be one of the selected physicians performing and teaching the VenaSeal closure system,” said Dr. Gibbs, who also serves on the teaching faculty and strategic advisory board for Medtronic to help the continuation and development of minimally invasive vascular treatments.
As home to of the most physically active populations in the country (even among seniors), it comes as no surprise that Dr. Gibbs and the Colorado-based network are focused on ensuring people can live the lives they want to live.
In addition to working as an ER nurse for 20 years, I am a very active person, and my worsening leg pain due to vein disease was affecting me personally, professionally, and emotionally,” said Keila Dremstedt, a VenaSeal closure system patient of Dr. Gibbs. “When Dr. Gibbs began performing the VenaSeal closure system procedure, I immediately requested this treatment. It was important to me to minimize the total number of injections, overall pain, and recovery time. Within two weeks, I was back to running and walking two to three miles at a time!”
