Vascular & Vein Treatments in Houston, TX
From varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency to PAD/claudication, DVT, carotid artery disease, aneurysms, limb-threatening wounds, and dialysis access needs, Dr. Rema Malik provides evidence-based, minimally invasive care in Houston, TX. After a thorough exam and on-site imaging, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan focused on safety, comfort, and long-term vascular health.
A minimally invasive treatment for refluxing veins that seals the faulty vein with controlled heat. Performed in-office with local anesthesia, RFA relieves aching, swelling, and heaviness with quick recovery.
Faulty vein valves cause pooling blood, leg swelling, skin changes, and ulcers. We confirm with duplex ultrasound, then use compression, lifestyle changes, and targeted procedures like RFA to restore healthy flow.
Venogram & Diagnostic Vein Mapping
Contrast X-ray venography and detailed ultrasound mapping identify blockages and plan precise treatment. This roadmap helps guide safe, effective interventions and reduces repeat procedures.
Spider Vein Injections (Cosmetic)
Sclerotherapy injects a medical solution into tiny surface veins so they collapse and fade. Sessions are quick with little downtime, designed to improve appearance and skin confidence.
Comprehensive care for venous and arterial ulcers, including debridement, compression, offloading, and revascularization when needed. The goal is fast healing and preventing amputation.
Rapid evaluation and anticoagulation, with catheter-directed thrombolysis or thrombectomy for selected patients. Our team focuses on restoring blood flow, stabilizing breathing, and preventing recurrence.
Abnormal artery-vein connections can cause pain, swelling, or bleeding. We diagnose with imaging and treat with image-guided embolization, often in stages, to reduce symptoms and risks.
Evidence-based care for artery plaque buildup, including medications, risk-factor control, supervised exercise for PAD, and minimally invasive angioplasty or stenting when indicated.
A catheter-based option for knee osteoarthritis pain in selected patients. By reducing inflamed blood flow to the joint lining, GAE can relieve pain and improve function without major surgery.

What to Expect at Your First Visit?
Initial consultation process
You’ll meet with Dr. Rema Malik to review your symptoms, medical history, medications, and goals. We’ll check vitals and perform a focused vascular exam (pulses, swelling, skin changes) to understand what’s driving your concerns.
Diagnostic Evaluation steps
Most patients receive noninvasive testing on-site, such as duplex ultrasound or ABI. If needed, we’ll discuss additional imaging (e.g., CT angiography or IVUS) to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
Personalized treatment plan
Dr. Malik will explain your results in plain language and outline options—from lifestyle changes and compression to minimally invasive procedures—covering benefits, risks, recovery, and follow-up. You’ll leave with a clear, written plan.
Discussion Insurance and payment information
We accept most major insurance plans and help with referrals and prior authorizations. You’ll receive cost estimates before any procedure. Please bring a photo ID, insurance card, and referral (if required). Our team can answer billing questions and assist with claims.

Image-guided interventions for precision treatment
High-resolution ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and IVUS guide every step, targeting only the diseased vessel segments. This accuracy improves safety and outcomes while preserving healthy tissue.

Frequently Ask Questions
Do I need a referral to see a vascular surgeon?
No referral is required for most patients. Many PPO plans and Medicare allow self-referral. Some HMOs or employer plans do require a primary care referral. Our team will verify your benefits and let you know exactly what your plan needs before your visit.
How do I know if my leg pain is vascular-related?
Vascular leg pain often shows up as:
- Cramping or tightness in the calves or thighs with walking that improves with rest (claudication)
- Heaviness, swelling, varicose veins, skin discoloration, or ulcers (venous disease)
Because nerve, joint, or back issues can mimic these symptoms, an exam plus noninvasive tests like an ankle–brachial index (ABI) or duplex ultrasound can clarify the cause.
Are vein treatments covered by insurance?
Medically necessary vein treatments (for pain, swelling, skin changes, ulcers, or documented reflux on ultrasound) are often covered after a trial of conservative care such as compression. Cosmetic procedures—like treatment of small spider veins—are typically not covered. We handle prior authorizations and provide cost estimates before treatment.
What’s the recovery time for vascular surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure and your overall health. Minimally invasive vein treatments (e.g., RF/laser ablation, sclerotherapy) typically allow return to light activity the same day or next day. Endovascular artery procedures (angioplasty/stent) often need a few days. More complex or open surgeries can take weeks. You’ll receive personalized recovery instructions and follow-up.
Do you offer minimally invasive procedures?
Yes. We offer a full range of image-guided, minimally invasive options, including radiofrequency/laser ablation for varicose veins, foam therapy (e.g., Varithena), angioplasty and stenting for arterial disease, catheter-directed clot treatments, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) when appropriate.
