Radiofrequency (RF) endovenous ablation is a minimally
invasive treatment procedure for venous reflux disease, using radiofrequency to
heat and seal diseased great saphenous, short saphenous and perforator
veins. It addresses the underlying cause of varicose veins. The VNUS
ClosureFAST™ catheter for the treatment of venous reflux delivers radiofrequency
energy to a heating element to heat and contract the collagen within the vein
walls and cause the shrinkage and collapse of the vessel.
The procedure involves inserting the catheter into the diseased vein through a very small incision and threading the device through the vessel up to the groin area. Radiofrequency waves are applied to the heating element in 20-second intervals to sequentially heat and ablate the vein in seven centimeter segments. After each segment is treated, the ClosureFAST catheter is manually withdrawn down the vein and the process is repeated until the entire length of the vein has been ablated. The body automatically re-routes blood flow through healthier veins, and the restoration of normal circulation relieves the distention of the surface veins. The ablated vein becomes scar tissue and is eventually absorbed by the body.
