Dr. Thomas Parisi

Residents in the Las Vegas area who seek treatment for varicose veins, edema, and other vascular dysfunctions frequently turn to Dr. Thomas Parisi and Las Vegas Vein, a clinic that focuses specifically on rehabilitating the lower extremities. At Las Vegas Vein, Dr. Parisi offers various treatment options for vein care, wound care, and leg rehabilitation. Many of his patients who suffer from vein disease are surprised to learn that increased exercise and better nutrition does not have a lasting effect on the disease. According to Dr. Thomas Parisi, genetics, pregnancy, and excessive standing are the main causes of varicose veins and other vascular complications. To treat vein disease in his patients, Dr. Thomas Parisi utilizes a popular procedure known as VNUS Closure. He is also pleased to now offer endovascular catheter ablation to close veins, a benign alternative to the laser technique. In addition, Dr. Parisi performs sclerotherapy, used to treat varicose veins and spider veins, and phlebectomy, a surgical treatment for varicose veins. Dr. Thomas Parisi stresses the importance of following post-operatic recommendations, such as walking for 30 minutes after the procedure and wearing compression hose. To evaluate patients who may suffer from edema, a swelling of the limbs due to lack of circulation, Dr. Thomas Parisi begins by conducting a deep vein ultrasound (DVU) to determine whether the patient has venous reflux disease. He then measures transcutaneous oxygen to discover the level of circulation in the limbs, which allows him to make an informed decision about the level of care. If the vein lesions are of an advanced nature, Dr. Parisi then applies endovascular catheter ablation using a heat pulse to immediately treat the problem. Dr. Thomas Parisi obtained a Doctor of Medicine from The University of Sint Eustatius School of Medicine and earned his board certification in internal medicine. He maintains professional affiliations with The Society for Vascular Medicine and holds the title of fellow of the American College of Physicians.
