Venous Interventions

Venous interventions involve procedures to treat conditions affecting the veins, such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency. These interventions aim to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

Symptoms We Treat

Causes

Venous interventions causes conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or DVT.

Risks

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, skin discolouration, or deep vein thrombosis in rare cases.

ProcedureS

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

Using laser energy to close off varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy

Injecting a solution into the vein to cause it to collapse and disappear.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Using radiofrequency energy to seal off varicose veins.

Vein Stripping

Surgically removing varicose veins (less common due to minimally invasive options).

Treatment Options

Compression Therapy

Using compression stockings to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.

Medication

To manage symptoms or prevent complications.

Lifestyle Changes

Including weight management and exercise to improve vein health.

post Procedure Recovery

EVLT – Normal activities can resume within a day or two.
Sclerotherapy – Mild bruising may occur, but daily activities can be resumed shortly.

Success rate

The success rate for venous interventions is high, with procedures like EVLT achieving success rates of 85% to 95% in relieving symptoms and improving vein appearance.

How long will the results last?

Results are often long-lasting, but lifestyle changes and follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.

Will I experience any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary bruising or discomfort, but serious side effects are rare.

Can I return to normal activities immediately?

Most patients can resume normal activities almost immediately, though heavy exercise and long periods of standing should be avoided initially.
