Details.
An innovative endovenous treatment for varicose veins combining mechanical and chemical techniques. A rotating wire damages the vein wall while a sclerosant is delivered to permanently close the vein. The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, is minimally invasive and does not require extensive local anaesthetic injections. It may suit patients wishing to avoid multiple anaesthetic injections, including those with veins close to nerves or lower in the leg. Most patients require a single session, with follow-up treatment occasionally needed for residual veins or additional branches. Recovery is typically immediate or within a day, and compression stockings may be recommended. Patients should follow post-procedure guidance, including staying mobile and avoiding prolonged immobility.
