Pregnancy after EVLA of large and small saphenous veins dangerous?

Question

Hi, I had both small and large saphenous veins treated with EVLA after my last pregnancy. If I got pregnant again, would the pregnancy cause issues with my deep veins or cause new bad veins to form? Wondering if it's a health risk. Thanks!

Kevin Haney, MD · Answer

It is hard to predict with certainty. However, most likely there would be additional superficial veins that may or may not require treatment. There should not be any issues with deep veins.

John Landi, MD · Answer

There is no added risk to your deep veins with an additional pregnancy post EVLT.  Pregnancies always carry a risk of future vein formation due to the increased pressure of the valves from the fetus.
