After the Closure procedure, has anyone had burning in lower leg?
Question:
Answers:
The closure procedure is thought to have minimal side effects. You do not say which procedure was used in closure. Depending of technique used, the side effects may include burning.
There are three types of endovenous procedures: endovenous laser treatment, endovenous radio frequency ablation, and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy (sometimes called echo-sclerotherapy).
Endovenous laser treatment is a minimally invasive, in-office treatment alternative to surgical stripping of the great saphenous vein. Instead of removing the saphenous vein, it is sealed closed in place. Possible complications of endovenous laser treatment are thermal skin burns and transient numbness.
Endovenous radio frequency ablation (Closure procedure) is a minimally invasive, in-office treatment alternative to surgical stripping of the great saphenous vein. Instead of removing the saphenous vein, it is sealed closed in place. The skin on the inside of the knee is anesthetized and a radio frequency catheter is inserted in to the saphenous vein. As the catheter is withdrawn, heat causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Possible complications of endovenous radio frequency ablation are thermal skin burns and transient numbness.
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (Echo-Sclerotherapy) is an in-office treatment alternative to surgical stripping. Possible complications of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy include: Inadvertent intra-arterial injection, skin ulceration, hyperpigmentation, telangiectatic matting, superficial phlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and allergic reaction.
