What is Radiofrequency Ablation for Varicose Veins about?
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins caused by saphenous vein reflux. It involves inserting a catheter with a radiofrequency electrode into the vein. Energy heats the vein wall, causing it to shrink and collapse. Historically, stripping and ligation was used but caused complications. Radiofrequency ablation provides excellent long-term results with fewer complications than surgery and has become the standard treatment.
