What is Endovenous Ablation (VNUS ClosureFAST)?
It is a new procedure that takes about 45 minutes to an hour and is performed in an outpatient setting. During the procedure, the area of the leg affected is locally anesthetized and a thin catheter is inserted into the abnormal vein and delivers the energy which closes the vein. Blood no longer gathers and the varicose vein shrinks and is reabsorbed.
