Hospiten is committed to the venous sealing technique with medical adhesive, which allows the elimination of varicose veins in the leg area in a simple, outpatient and virtually painless way. For this, it uses a medical adhesive without toxicity for the organism.
Dr. Mirjana Lara, specialist in angiology and vascular surgery at Hospiten Lanzarote and Hospiten Roca in Gran Canaria, assures that this treatment improves the quality of life of those who suffer from chronic venous insufficiency, a disease that affects 20% of the general population, especially women. She adds that, after the intervention, the patient does not have to rest, so they can continue with their work activity, as well as practice sports.
The technique consists of using real-time images of the varicose vein to locate it and make a puncture in it. Through this puncture, the cyanoacrylate or glue is released, which induces fibrosis in the vein, preventing the passage of blood. "This causes a redistribution of blood flow through other healthy areas of the leg," explains Lara.
The Hospiten specialist also emphasizes that "these intervention treatments aim to eliminate saphenous reflux to relieve symptoms and, in more than 96% of cases, are successful."
In recent studies, these procedures have proven to be safe and effective methods in the treatment of saphenous veins, tributaries, perforators, and venous recurrences.
To carry out the intervention, Hospiten Roca and Hospiten Lanzarote take into account the clinical, etiological, anatomical and pathophysiological staging of the limb to be treated, in addition to the existence of symptoms attributable to venous insufficiency such as pain, sensation of heaviness, cramps, paresthesia, itching and/or edema.
Likewise, the symptoms prior to the intervention will be analyzed and compared with the patient's situation after the procedure, and the absence or presence of visible varicose veins in the treated area will be examined.
