Varicose veins are common, and become more common with advance in age. Fortunately, in most cases they’re asymptomatic, but in some cases can cause symptoms and occasionally serious health problems. Today we’re joined by Dr. Thom Rooke, a vascular specialist at Mayo Clinic’s Vascular Center and specialist in peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, and sclerotherapy.
