Permacath insertion is a minimally invasive procedure in which a catheter is placed into a blood vessel in the neck or upper chest. This catheter is used for hemodialysis, a vital treatment for patients with kidney disease.
Fistuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to clear blockages in an arteriovenous fistula, enabling access for dialysis without the need for surgery. The blockage is treated by inflating a specialized balloon or device, which improves blood flow through the fistula.
TEVAR is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat conditions affecting the thoracic aorta, such as aneurysms or dissections. Located in the chest, the thoracic aorta is a critical blood vessel, and TEVAR offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery, providing benefits like shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.
A peripheral angiogram, also known as extremity angiography, is a diagnostic test that uses X-rays and contrast dye to identify narrowed or blocked arteries supplying blood to the legs, feet, arms, or hands.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein located deep within the body, most commonly in the legs, arms, or other areas.
Varicocele embolization is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure designed to treat varicoceles—enlarged veins in the scrotum. It is an effective option for addressing varicoceles that cause pain, swelling, or infertility.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear on the legs due to increased pressure on the veins. This condition is caused by the weakening of vein walls or malfunctioning valves, which leads to improper blood flow.
VenaSeal provides fast and effective relief from varicose veins. This minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure offers a more comfortable experience with shorter recovery times.
VenaSeal Treatment
VenaSeal provides fast and effective relief from varicose veins. This minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure offers a more comfortable experience with shorter recovery times.
VenaSeal utilizes a special medical glue to close the affected veins. The glue bonds the walls of the vein together, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins. Over time, your body will absorb the inactive veins, causing them to disappear.
Since varicose veins may not always be visible on the surface, ultrasound is used to map and guide the procedure. Your doctor will insert a catheter to apply the medical glue.
VenaSeal Advantages
Compared to other treatments for varicose veins, such as surgical removal or cauterization (burning), VenaSeal offers:
- Just one needle prick – A local anesthetic and a single needle are used for access with a catheter.
- No discomfort – VenaSeal avoids heat or lasers, eliminating the pain associated with traditional varicose vein treatments.
- Reduced recovery time – You can resume normal activities just one day after treatment.
- No need for compression socks – Since glue is used, the body requires less healing, reducing the need for compression.
