Venous Insufficiency & Varicose Veins
Office-based, minimally invasive vein treatments with little downtime.
Minimally Invasive Interventional Procedures
When conservative measures are insufficient or when significant truncal reflux is present, guidelines recommend minimally invasive catheter and chemical procedures as first-line interventional treatment:
Endovenous Thermal Ablation (RFA / EVLA)
Using ultrasound guidance, radiofrequency (RFA) or laser (EVLA) energy is delivered via a tiny catheter into the incompetent saphenous vein, applying heat to shrink, seal, and close the vessel.
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS)
Injection of a specialized chemical foam sclerosant into varicose or refluxing truncal veins under ultrasound guidance, causing vessel fibrosis, closure, and subsequent body absorption.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy (Stab Phlebectomy)
Removal of bulging surface varicose veins through microscopic needle punctures or tiny incisions under local anesthesia, providing immediate cosmetic and symptomatic relief.
Traditional Surgical Interventions
Open surgical procedures are reserved for extensive tortuosity, complex anatomical variations, or cases where endovenous ablation techniques are unsuitable:
High Ligation and Vein Stripping
A traditional surgical procedure where the great or small saphenous junction is surgically exposed in the groin or knee, the main trunk vein is tied off (ligation), and a stripper device is passed to extract the diseased vein segment.
