VenaSeal™

VenaSeal™ is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It is a modern and innovative approach that involves the use of a medical adhesive to seal off the affected veins. VenaSeal™ offers several advantages over traditional treatments, such as avoiding the use of heat or anesthesia. In this article, we will provide an overview of the VenaSeal™ procedure.

Dr. Sabry can help you address your specific issue.

VenaSeal™ Procedures

There are several VenaSeal™ Procedures. These are:

1. Consultation and Evaluation: Before undergoing the VenaSeal™ procedure, a consultation with a healthcare professional, often a vascular specialist, is conducted. During this evaluation, the healthcare provider will assess the veins, discuss the patient’s medical history, and determine the suitability of VenaSeal™ as a treatment option.
2. Preparation: VenaSeal™ is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, and special preparation is not usually required. The patient may be advised to avoid applying lotions or oils to the legs before the procedure.
3. Localization of the Affected Vein: Using ultrasound guidance, the healthcare provider locates the varicose vein that requires treatment. This ensures accurate placement of the VenaSeal™ adhesive.
4. Administration of Local Anesthesia: The patient is usually given a local anesthetic to numb the area where the adhesive will be injected. This helps minimize discomfort during the procedure.
5. Introduction of the Adhesive: A small catheter is inserted into the affected vein through a tiny incision. The catheter is guided to the targeted area using ultrasound imaging. Once in place, the VenaSeal™ adhesive is injected into the vein.
6. Closure of the Vein: The adhesive works by sealing the vein, causing it to collapse and stick together. The closure of the vein redirects blood flow to healthier veins, relieving symptoms and improving overall circulation.
7. Post-procedure Care:After the VenaSeal™ procedure, patients can resume normal activities immediately. There is no need for compression stockings or bandages, and restrictions on physical activity are minimal. Patients are encouraged to engage in regular walking and exercise to promote blood circulation.
8. Potential Side Effects: The VenaSeal™ procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications such as allergic reactions or deep vein thrombosis are rare but can occur.
