Glue Ablation
This procedure consists of placing a medical glue to seal defective veins. This is the most recent innovation in the treatment of varicose veins.
Procedure
Preparation: Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine.
​
Catheter Insertion: A thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein through a needle poke.
​
Glue Delivery: the glue is deposited into the vein where necessary, using ultrasound guidance.
