VenaSeal™
VenaSeal™ for Kissimmee, FL Patients
Hannum Vascular offers treatments for diseased veins, helpings patients restore control over their health and appearance. For many Kissimmee, FL residents, VenaSeal™ is one of the most effective options. This innovative system closes and seals unhealthy veins by delivering a small amount of formulated medical adhesive in the bad vein and rerouting blood through nearby veins that still function as they should. Once complete, this procedure will close the superficial veins we treat, and your varicose vein symptoms will improve. Over the years, our vascular surgeon has used VenaSeal™ to improve countless lives.
Minor and Infrequent Side Effects to Keep in Mind
One of the greatest benefits of VenaSeal™ is the minor and infrequent side effects. However, there are some things you should keep in mind, as any medical procedure can have unwanted impacts. The most common is phlebitis, which is the inflammation of a vein. If you develop phlebitis, it will happen within the first 30 days. It will resolve itself. The procedure will cause little to no pain, and any pain you experience will subside as soon as the diseased vein closes. Despite these minor complications, you can return to work and resume your social life schedule immediately following the procedure.
The Benefits of VenaSeal™ Are Undeniable
VenaSeal™ is a simple yet effective procedure that yields significant benefits. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and then make a small incision or skin puncture. At that point, we insert a catheter and verify the placement by ultrasound. Then we deliver the adhesive. In addition to the simple nature of the treatment, there are numerous additional benefits to VenaSeal™, including the following:
- Improved blood flow
- Only one incision required
- No general anesthesia required
- Immediate relief from discomfort and bulging veins
- No downtime after the procedure; you can return to work immediately
- It usually does not require compression stockings
Who Might Not Be a Good Candidate for VenaSeal™
While VenaSeal™ will work for most patients, some will not be candidates for the treatment. If you have a known hypersensitivity to any of the elements in the adhesive, we cannot use VenaSeal™ and will explore other options. Acute inflammation due to blood clots and acute whole-body infections also disqualify patients from the procedure. If any of these issues keep you from receiving VenaSeal™, don’t worry. Hannum Vascular offers various treatments aimed at vein conditions.
