Radiofrequency ablation of saphenous veins
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a modern minimally invasive method for treating varicose veins, in which the affected vessels are closed using thermal energy generated by radiofrequency waves. The procedure is performed without incisions, under ultrasound guidance, and allows for rapid restoration of normal venous blood flow.
When is radiofrequency ablation indicated?
- For varicose veins of the lower extremities.
- In cases of chronic venous insufficiency.
- When patients experience pain, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.
- If varicose disease is accompanied by inflammation or trophic skin changes.
- As an alternative to surgical vein removal.
How is the procedure performed?
- Diagnosis and preparation – venous ultrasound is performed and pathological veins are mapped.
- Anesthesia – local tumescent anesthesia is administered along the course of the vein.
- Catheter insertion – a thin probe is introduced into the vein through a small puncture.
- Radiofrequency energy delivery – the vein is heated and gradually collapses and seals.
- Post-procedure period – the patient puts on compression stockings and is able to walk immediately.
Why choose radiofrequency ablation in Belarus?
- Painless procedure – performed under local anesthesia.
- No incisions or sutures – minimal tissue trauma.
- Fast recovery – patients can return to normal activities as early as the next day.
- High effectiveness – the treated vein is completely closed with a very low risk of recurrence.
- Excellent cosmetic result – no scars or significant bruising.
The procedure is performed at leading phlebology centers in Belarus using modern radiofrequency generators and advanced technologies. Experienced specialists ensure precise execution, a minimal risk of complications, and rapid patient recovery.
