Varicose Veins Treatment with Closure Fast and Phlebectomy Technique in Seoul South Korea

Varicose veins are gnarled, swollen veins that usually occur in the feet, legs, and ankles, caused by venous insufficiency. This means that the blood circulating through the lower limbs does not properly return to the heart but instead pools up in the distended veins.

The ClosureFast Technique

The innovative ClosureFast technique uses radiofrequency energy to effectively and precisely treat patients suffering from varicose veins. This procedure eliminates the need for surgery or general anesthesia, as it is performed with local anesthesia in an outpatient surgical facility and does not take longer than 60 minutes.

The ClosureFast technique heats a 7-cm vein segment or even 3 cm for shorter veins in one 20-second interval. The heat shrinks and collapses the target vein, creating a fibrotic seal and occluding the vessel.

Benefits of the ClosureFast Technique

• Lower rates of pain and bruising
• Faster recovery
• Minimum risk of complications
• Quick return to normal activities
• Minimal to no scarring

Procedure of ClosureFast Technique for Varicose Veins

The ClosureFast™ procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins, utilizing radiofrequency energy to close off faulty veins. This technique is designed to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and skin changes.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Consultation and Diagnosis:

   • Initial Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with a vein specialist. A detailed medical history and physical examination are conducted.

   • Ultrasound Examination: An ultrasound is performed to map out the vein anatomy and assess the extent of venous reflux (backward blood flow) in the affected veins.

2. Preparation:

   • Local Anesthesia: The procedure area is numbed using a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort.

   • Vein Access: Under ultrasound guidance, a small incision is made, usually near the knee, and a catheter is inserted into the affected vein.

3. Catheter Insertion:

   • ClosureFast™ Catheter: The ClosureFast™ catheter, equipped with a heating element, is threaded through the vein to the targeted treatment area.

4. Radiofrequency Ablation:

   • Application of Energy: Radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered through the catheter to heat the vein walls. The heat causes the collagen in the vein walls to contract and the vein to close.

   • Segmental Ablation: The catheter treats the vein in segments, with the heating element being activated for 20-second intervals. The catheter is then withdrawn to treat the next segment until the entire vein is closed.

5. Completion:

   • Catheter Removal: Once the vein is completely treated, the catheter is removed.

   • Compression Bandage: A compression bandage or stocking is applied to the treated leg to reduce swelling and support healing.

6. Post-Procedure Care:

   • Recovery: Patients are typically encouraged to walk immediately after the procedure to promote circulation.

   • Follow-Up: Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the treatment area and ensure proper healing. An ultrasound may be performed to confirm vein closure.

   • Compression Stockings: Wearing compression stockings for a specified period is recommended to aid in the healing process and improve blood flow.
