the catheter closes the vein

When varicose veins need to be eliminated, minimally invasive methods are now available. These innovative procedures are much preferred by the RVI (Reeder Vein Institute) staff and patients compared to the old-fashioned "vein stripping" procedures, which often required general anesthesia, a brief hospital stay and weeks of uncomfortable healing and recuperation.

At RVI Dallas, Texas, both the VNUS Closure procedure and laser treatments are minimally invasive treatment alternatives with less pain and bruising when compared to traditional vein stripping surgery.

Using the Closure system, physicians close the diseased veins by inserting the Closure catheter into a vein and heating the vein wall using temperature-controlled RF energy. Heating the vein wall causes collagen in the wall to shrink and the vein to close. After the vein is sealed shut, blood then naturally reroutes to healthy veins. Patients are up and walking immediately and can usually resume normal daily activities within a day or two. The laser procedure is done in a similar fashion.
