We welcome

Our first batch of DNB Radiology students in Meenakshi hospital, Tanjore

Minimally Invasive | Day Care Procedure | Quick Recovery

Indications

Symptomatic varicose veins (ache, pain, heaviness, throbbing)
Swelling, fatigue or cramps in the legs
Recurrent varicose veins after surgery
Skin changes due to venous disease (darkening, eczema)
Superficial venous reflux documented on Duplex Ultrasound
Patient preference for minimally invasive treatment

The Procedure: Step By Step

EVLA

01. Local Anesthesia & Access

Tumescent local anesthesia is given around the vein. A small puncture is made and a thin catheter is inserted into the vein under ultrasound guidance.

Jan

02. Laser Fiber Insertion

The laser fiber is advanced through the catheter to the required position below the saphenofemoral/saphenopopliteal junction.

Jan

03. Tumescent Anesthesia

Tumescent solution is injected around the vein. This compresses the vein, provides anesthesia and protects surrounding tissues.

Jan

04. Laser Ablation

Laser energy is delivered while the fiber is gradually withdrawn. The vein wall collapses and the vein is sealed shut.

Jan

05. Catheter Removal

The fiber and catheter are removed and pressure is applied to the puncture site.

Contraindications

Pregnancy
Active deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Severe peripheral arterial disease
Active infection in the leg
Known hypersensitivity to local anesthetics
Inability to walk or ambulate
Inability to walk or ambulate
Severe uncontrolled medical illness

NEUROINTERVENTION: CAROTID STENTING

Minimally invasive treatment performed under ultrasound guidance using endovenous laser ablation combined with foam sclerotherapy for symptomatic varicose veins. The procedure effectively seals incompetent veins, reduces pain, swelling, heaviness, skin discoloration, and improves cosmetic appearance with early recovery. Performed as a daycare procedure under local anesthesia, it enables rapid return to normal activity with minimal scarring and reduced recurrence rates compared to conventional surgery.
