Venous Reflux Disease Treatment/ Varicose Veins
VNUS Closure
Healthy leg vein valves keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart. In venous reflux disease these valves become damaged or weak and do not close properly.
Some of the symptoms of venous reflux disease are aching legs swelling itching, pain, tired legs at the end of the day, throbbing, varicose veins.
The VNUS Closure procedure is used to treat venous reflux disease (e.g. varicose veins) in the superficial venous system. Ultrasound is used to determine if a patient is a candidate for this procedure. At Suburban Surgery Center/Center for Advanced Vein Care, we offer the convenience of ultrasound right in our office. In addition, VNUS Closure is performed on an outpatient basis usually also in our office.
During the VNUS Closure procedure, an incision is made in the leg and a small catheter is inserted into the diseased vein. As the catheter is removed, heat from the tip of the catheter causes the vein wall to shrink and the vein to close.
A simple bandage is placed over the incision site and compression is used to promote healing. The patient is instructed to walk but refrain from extended standing or strenuous activities. The patient can usually resume normal activities the next day.
