- **Where it is applied:** Great or small saphenous vein of the leg
- **Prior preparation:** Prior assessment with venous Duplex ultrasound to confirm reflux, the course of the vein, and whether the anatomy is suitable for adhesive treatment.
- **How it is performed:** Under ultrasound guidance, the vein is accessed through a puncture and a thin catheter is introduced, releasing small amounts of medical adhesive in a controlled way while external compression is applied, until the treated segment is fully sealed.
- **Follow-up:** Scheduled reviews to assess how the treated vein is progressing and decide whether another varicose branch or spider vein needs to be addressed with a complementary technique.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is VenaSeal® suitable for all varicose veins?

NO. It is only suitable in certain cases of venous insufficiency, and always after studying the venous anatomy with Duplex ultrasound.

### Is Duplex ultrasound needed before treatment?

YES, ALWAYS. Venous Duplex ultrasound makes it possible to locate the source of reflux, assess the course of the vein, and decide whether the technique is suitable.

### Does VenaSeal® use heat?

NO. It is a non-thermal technique that closes the vein with a medical adhesive, unlike laser or radiofrequency.

### Does it require anaesthesia?

Local anaesthesia is usually used at the puncture site, but tumescent anaesthesia along the entire vein is not usually required.

### Do I need to wear a compression stocking afterwards?

In many cases it is not necessary, although the indication may vary depending on the patient, any combined technique, and the specialist’s criteria.

### Is recovery immediate?

Usually, the patient can get off the treatment couch and walk out as soon as the procedure is finished.
