New Vein Clinic at Preston Memorial Hospital
If you are suffering from painful varicose veins, We would like to share with you some good news.
The VNUS ClosureŽ procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping for patients with superficial venous reflux, an underlying cause of varicose veins. We at Preston Memorial Hospital are pleased to offer this treatment to our patients suffering from symptoms associated with varicose veins.
The VNUS Closure procedure uses a small catheter to seal the vein shut through a single small incision. The patient can usually return to normal activities within a day. Best of all, once a defective saphenous vein is sealed shut or "occluded," blood flow immediately diverts to healthy veins. Like any interventional procedure, the VNUS Closure procedure involves risks and potential complications. You should consult your doctor to determine whether or not you are a candidate for this procedure, and if your conditions present any special risks.
Approximately 25 million Americans suffer from venous disease, a condition which often results in varicose veins and other painful symptoms. As you may know, this can have a significant effect on a person’s lifestyle.
If you are interested in learning more about the benefits and risks associated with the VNUS Closure procedure, or in determining if you are an appropriate candidate for the treatment, please call Specialist Center B at 304 329 3738 to schedule an appointment
