Endovenous Closure New Jersey
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Endovenous Closure in New Jersey is designed to treat varicose veins. The Endovenous Closure technique uses radiofrequency waves produced by an electrode to seal the vein.
The VNUS Closure Fast has 6.5 cm of an electrode that creates the radiofrequency waves. The end result is that almost 6.5 cm of the vein can be shut rather quickly. The VNUS closure Fast system uses an elevated heat to shut off the varicose vein. The complete saphenous vein in the thigh can differ between 20-40 cm allowing for the vein to be shut of in just minutes.
Endovenous Closure in New Jersey is an outpatient procedure. You will be instructed not to take any aspirin at least a week before treatment. If you are on Coumadin or other blood thinning drugs you should discuss with your vein specialist when discontinuing the medications would be appropriate for you and your situation.
On the day of your endovenous closure treatment, your vein specialist will have you lie down on an exam table while your leg is cleansed and prepped for treatment. Your varicose vein in your thigh region will be distinguished from the knee to the groin. A local anesthetic is then injected beneath the skin, then, a tiny needle is inserted into the varicose vein. It is by way of this strategically placed needle that the VNUS Closure Fast electrode is placed and navigated up to the groin.
When the catheter is in the appropriate location, radiofrequency energy is targeted at the vein and the catheter is then taken out. The radiofrequency energy warms up your vein, forcing it to fold and eventually closing the vein itself.
After the Endovenous closure in New Jersey treatment, a bandage will be put over the treatment site, and supplementary compression is added in order for the area to stay clean. You will be instructed to walk and go back to your regular activities.
