VNUS CLOSURE CATHETER PROCEDURE
This procedure is also performed right in the
office. The skin on the inside of the thigh is injected with
xylocaine,
and then a thin radio frequency catheter is fed into the
vein. This highly sophisticated catheter then delivers
energy to the inside of the vein, and is slowly withdrawn.
The catheter has temperature sensors on it, which I monitor
during the procedure. This ensures that the vein is getting
the exact amount of heat to close the vein permanently.
The patient is back to near normal activities the next
day. Sclerotherapy is often needed to close off the smaller
varicose veins that remain after the procedure.
