Venous Ablation

Chronic venous insufficiency is a common and a highly prevalent vascular disorder, that occurs as a result of venous reflux owing to defective venous valves, which in turn causes venous hypertension with significant symptom burden that can interfere with quality of life. Therapeutic strategy involves lowering the venous pressure by lifestyle changes, compression therapy, and conventional catheter-based thermal ablation and novel nonthermal, nontumescent techniques of ablating the affected veins.
