What Is Venous Ulcers?
Treatment for open leg sores caused by chronic venous insufficiency, addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease.
Venous ulcerations are open sores on the legs caused by chronic venous insufficiency, when blood pools in the veins instead of flowing back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson treats venous ulcers by addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease driving it, often using the same vein ablation or sclerotherapy techniques used for varicose veins.

Who This Helps
Gautier patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous ulcers:
- Open sores or wounds on the lower leg, often near the ankle
- Skin discoloration or thickening around the wound
- Leg swelling, aching, or heaviness
- Wounds that are slow to heal
How It Works & Recovery
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
Because venous ulcers are slow to heal and can worsen without treatment, addressing the underlying vein disease is an important part of supporting faster healing and reducing the chance the ulcer returns.
Why Gautier Patients Choose The Vein Institute
Patients from Gautier choose the Vein Institute because our D’Iberville office is approx. 23 mi (about 30 min) away and is staffed by a board-certified vein specialist rather than a general practice that treats veins occasionally. Dr. J. Keith Thompson is double board-certified in general and vascular surgery and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.
Our clinical team includes a double board-certified vascular surgeon, a Certified Vascular Sonographer with more than 18 years of vein ultrasound experience, and a Nurse Practitioner trained directly by Dr. Thompson in sclerotherapy — all focused exclusively on vein care.
Gautier is approx. 23 mi (about 30 min) from our D’Iberville office at 3950 Promenade Parkway, Ste E, D'Iberville, MS 39540. Many Gautier patients combine their consultation and ultrasound into a single trip.
