Venous Ablation
Venous ablation is a minimally invasive treatment option that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to treat patients suffering from varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency. During the procedure, an ablation catheter is inserted into the diseased vein to provide heat that causes the collagen in the vein walls to shrink and seal closed. Blood then naturally re-routes to other healthy veins once the diseased vein is closed.
Venous Disease
Venous disease is the impairment of blood flowing to the heart and is a common condition affecting men and women of all ages and activity levels. While many cases of venous disease are genetic, they can also be caused by environmental risks, pregnancy and other factors. Venous disease can range from cosmetic concerns to life-threatening conditions, including spider veins, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and swollen or painful legs due to chronic venous insufficiency.
Venous Treatments and Procedures
Treatment options for venous or vein disease vary depending on the diagnosis. They can range from medical therapies and compression stockings to surgical correction. Michigan Medicine venous health experts offer a full complement of endovenous (within the vein) and surgical treatments.
