OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive vein care procedures are less invasive than surgery and have a lower complication rate, are well tolerated by patients, and have good cosmetic results. Because radiologists have expertise in imaging-guided procedures, offering minimally invasive vein care is a logical step. CONCLUSIONS Starting an effective outpatient vein care clinic involves decisions about space, equipment, and advertising. With proper staffing and rapport with patients and referring physicians, a varicose vein practice can be a profitable adjunct to any radiology practice.
