Laser varices treatment for superficial venous insufficiency
Laser varices is a minimally invasive endovenous thermal ablation technique used to treat superficial venous insufficiency. The procedure involves introducing a laser fiber into a target vein under ultrasound guidance, using controlled thermal energy to cause the vein to close and effectively removing it from the pathological superficial circulation.
Medical professionals emphasize that successful treatment depends on several factors, including venous anatomy, the presence of reflux, and the patient's clinical history. An echo-Doppler evaluation is considered an essential prerequisite to map the venous network and determine the origin of the reflux before intervention.
While the technique can be used for veins of varying sizes, including those with relatively large diameters, technical closure of a vein does not always guarantee the complete disappearance of all clinical symptoms. The choice of procedure must be based on individual clinical situations and precise anatomical analysis rather than the visible size of the varicose veins alone.
