ClariVein®IC Chicago
Treatment of Varicose Veins
One out of every two people will develop varicose veins by the time they are 50 years old. Most of these veins will appear on the legs, attesting to our body’s constant struggle against gravity. For many years, the only treatment for varicose veins was ligation and stripping. This involved several small incisions being placed along the length of the veins and literally pulling the veins out of the vein beds. There was usually a great deal of swelling involved and it took a considerable amount of time to heal from this procedure.
Endovascular Procedures
Fortunately, technological advances have provided the medical community with less barbaric and more effective means for the treatment of varicose veins. A variety of endovascular procedures have replaced vein stripping. These new techniques utilize thin tubes or catheters placed inside the hollows of the veins to deliver laser treatment or radio waves that cause the veins to shrivel and disappear.
There are various catheter designs, and depending on the size and severity of the veins in question, one may be superior to another in any given situation. However, the ClariVein®IC is an exceptional option for many patients.
