Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation

What is radiofrequency vein ablation?

Radiofrequency vein ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that treats varicose veins and venous insufficiency.  A physician performs this procedure in the comfort of his office using the ClosureFast™ system.

ClosureFast uses radiofrequency energy to heat the vein and make the vein walls collapse. Your body automatically reroutes blood flow through nearby healthy veins, which eliminates the unhealthy vein, alleviates your symptoms, and prevents complications from venous insufficiency.

Am I a good candidate for radiofrequency vein ablation?

After evaluating your symptoms and performing a thorough exam, our providers determine if radiofrequency ablation is the best treatment for your vein problem.

Varicose veins develop when valves inside the veins stop working properly, allowing blood to flow back down the leg instead of going toward your heart. This condition, called venous insufficiency, allows blood to accumulate in the vein.

As the blood builds up, you develop varicose veins and other symptoms such as:

Leg pain

Leg and ankle swelling

Heavy-feeling legs

Restless legs

Skin discoloration

Venous stasis ulcers

Without treatment, venous insufficiency leads to complications such as venous dermatitis and slow-healing venous stasis ulcers.

Radiofrequency ablation closes the dysfunctional vein, eliminating unsightly varicose veins and restoring normal circulation, which treats your symptoms.

What should I expect during endovenous radiofrequency ablation?

Radiofrequency ablation with ClosureFast causes less pain and bruising than laser treatments for varicose veins. You’ll also have a faster recovery, and you only need to wear compression stockings for a week or less.

A local anesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort, the ClosureFast catheter is then inserted into the vein. Using ultrasound-guided imaging, a catheter is gently threaded to the dysfunctional vein and then the catheter releases radiofrequency energy, heating the vein and making the walls close. Well over 2 million people in more than 100 countries found relief from varicose veins and venous insufficiency with the ClosureFast procedure.
