ULTRASOUND GUIDED SCLEROTHERAPY

What is involved in this procedure?

This procedure is very effective in the treatment of deeper abnormal veins. Traditionally, surgery was required to remove these deeper veins. Ultrasound sclerotherapy is similar to conventional sclerotherapy. The only difference is that the doctor has a monitor on which he can visually see veins that cannot be seen with the ordinary eye. This means that he can find hidden veins beneath the surface of the skin and eliminate them with greater accuracy and precision. Sclerotherapy used in conjunction with ultrasound offers a more optimal outcome, particularly for large veins.

Ultrasound is the key to success in this technique, guiding both the placement of and the number of injections required according to each individual patient. Follow up ultrasound examination will confirm success and assist by guiding additional treatment if required.

Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is not a cure for varicose veins. Even though it may permanently remove existing veins it cannot prevent the development of new varicose veins over time. Subsequent treatment of these veins may be required. Treating varicose veins will tend to retard the progression of varicose veins and spider veins.
