The unique VenaSeal™ closure system is a non-thermal adhesive modality to safely close the diseased veins without cuts, multiple injections and compression stockings after treatment. This advanced new treatment is currently used by physicians and surgeons worldwide and is already available for patients of Almazov Centre.
On July 25, doctors of the Vascular Surgery Clinic headed by Chief Head of the Vascular and Interventional Surgery Research Department Mikhail Chernyavsky performed the first non-thermal adhesive closure of varicose veins for three patients.
Unlike thermal vein treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation or laser coagulation, this procedure does not heat the vein wall and is administered without the use of tumescent anesthesia (multiple injections of a dilute local anesthetic).
These benefits save patients from complications associated with endovenous thermal techniques such as bleeding, sensory disturbances and skin hyperpigmentation. Although the effectiveness and safety of thermal treatments and adhesive closure are comparable today, the second option is much more painless and comfortable for the patient so patient satisfaction is significantly higher.
Today, doctors of the vascular surgery clinic at Almazov Centre have all the facilities to offer a quick, successful and painless treatment of varicose veins.
