Venous interventions are an excellent choice for patients seeking minimally invasive solutions to vein-related issues. Unlike traditional surgical methods, these procedures involve smaller incisions or no incisions at all, leading to quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. These procedures are ideal for those suffering from chronic venous conditions such as varicose veins, swelling, leg pain, or skin ulcers, or for individuals who cannot undergo traditional surgery due to underlying health issues.

• Minimally Invasive: These procedures often require only small incisions or no incisions at all, meaning less discomfort, fewer complications, and quicker recovery.
• Fast and Efficient: Most procedures can be done on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day and often resume normal activities quickly.
• High Precision: Image guidance (such as CT scans, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy) allows for precise targeting of abnormal tissue or fluid collections, minimizing risk to surrounding organs.
• Less Risk of Infection: By avoiding large surgical incisions, the risk of infection is significantly lower than with traditional surgery.
• Cost-Effective: These procedures tend to be more cost-effective compared to traditional surgery, as they often involve shorter hospital stays and fewer complications.
• Diagnostic Value: Biopsies allow for accurate diagnosis of conditions such as cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases using minimally invasive methods.
• Palliative Care: Drainage procedures can provide immediate relief to patients suffering from pain and discomfort caused by fluid build-up (such as abscesses or cysts), and may serve as palliative care for terminally ill patients.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

A laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein through a small catheter. The laser energy causes the vein to close and collapse, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This procedure is commonly used for varicose veins and is performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.

Sclerotherapy

A sclerosing agent is injected directly into the problematic vein, causing it to harden and eventually disappear. This is commonly used for smaller varicose veins or spider veins. Sclerotherapy is a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort.

Mechanical Thrombectomy (for DVT)

This procedure is used to remove blood clots in veins, typically in the legs. A catheter is inserted through the skin, and mechanical devices or suction are used to remove the clot, restoring normal blood flow and preventing further complications such as pulmonary embolism.

Vein Stripping and Ligation (if necessary)

Although this is a more traditional surgical procedure, it can still be an option in some cases. It involves the removal of damaged veins through small incisions in the skin.

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA)

For patients with venous stenosis (narrowing of the veins), a balloon catheter is inserted to dilate the narrowed vein and improve blood flow. In some cases, a stent may also be placed to keep the vein open.

Venous Stenting

For patients with venous obstruction, a stent is placed in the vein to open it up and improve blood flow. This is often used for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pelvic congestion syndrome.

• Patients with varicose veins causing pain, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns.
• Individuals with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or chronic venous insufficiency.
• Patients experiencing swelling, skin ulcers, or leg fatigue due to poor blood circulation.
• Those who prefer minimally invasive treatments over traditional surgery.
• These interventions not only improve circulation but also reduce the risk of serious complications, such as ulcers and blood clots, while providing faster recovery and better quality of life for patients.
