Troubled Veins, No Problem!

As an alternative to vein stripping, the minimally-invasive, ClosureFast, procedure uses a small incision at the insertion site and the vein is then closed and left in place. This minimally-invasive approach virtually eliminates pain and bruising that is commonly associated with vein stripping.

The minimally-invasive procedure can provide relief from symptoms such as pain, swollen limbs, leg heaviness and fatigue, etc.

This outpatient procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and most patients resume normal activities within one to two days. Little to no scarring, as well as minor bruising and swelling can be expected.

Vein care services are on a referral basis. Talk with your primary care provider to see if minimally-invasive treatment is right for you.

Many factors contribute to the presence of vein disease, including:

• Age
• Gender
• Family history
• Heavy lifting
• Multiple pregnancies
• Obesity
• Prolonged standing
