How does VNUS closure work to treat superfecial venous reflux?
Since damaged vein valves can’t be repaired, the only alternative is to re-route blood flow through healthy veins. The Closure procedure treats venous reflux by sealing the saphenous vein by means of radiofrequency generated by a catheter inserted inside the vein. Once the diseased vein is sealed, other healthy veins take over and empty blood from your legs.
