Endovenous Ablation for Varicose Veins

Definition

Endovenous ablation for varicose veins is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses heat to close off and seal problematic veins, thereby redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This procedure is commonly used to treat varicose veins, which are swollen, twisted, and sometimes painful veins that have filled with an abnormal collection of blood.
