Before & After
This is a two week postop follow up after endovenous ablation with ambulatory phlebectomy with symptomatic greater saphenous vein based varicose veins.
This is a 45 year old man who had painful calf varicose veins with ankle swelling that worsened as the day went on. He underwent greater saphenous vein ablation with Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) using Closurefast with phlebectomy of the branch veins. This resulted in clearing of the visible varicose veins, and marked resolution of his symptoms.
This is a patient who had some painful and achy veins on the back of the knee. These were treated with ambulatory phlebectomy. While there are still some small visible reticular veins, the majority of the bulging veins are gone after one treatment session. Additional treatment sessions could be utilized with sclerotherapy to clean up the remnant reticular veins if desired.
