Radiofrequency Occlusion in Bryn Mawr, PA
Radiofrequency occlusion is a procedure that uses a thin catheter, which is inserted into your vein through a tiny incision, and your surgeon utilizes an ultrasound to guide him or her through the opening. The catheter uses radiofrequency energy to attack the wall of the effected vein. Once the catheter is removed, the treated vein is heated and sealed shut. This treatment is quick and painless. You should be able to return to work as well as normal activity within a few days.
The tip heats the vein to 185º (85ºc), causing it to close and become an inner scar. Once this happens the body naturally removes the scarred tissue over time. Patients require general anesthetic. The treatment is very effective at permanently removing problem veins.
