What is the VenaSeal closure system?
VenaSeal closure procedure is an advanced, painless, and non-surgical treatment for early and advanced-stage varicose veins. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for every age group and gender.

It involves delivering a medical adhesive to the damaged veins through a thin catheter. This adhesive seals the damaged veins and re-route the blood to nearby healthy veins. The damaged veins then gradually disappear.

There is hardly any downtime. That means you can instantly go home after the procedure and do all basic activities like walking, driving, etc. There is minimal to no bruising. And there is a need to wear compression stockings post-procedure. The complications of the VenaSeal system are also low because the procedure doesn’t affect the surrounding nerves and structure.

When is the VenaSeal procedure recommended?
Our body has primarily two types of blood vessels - arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, whereas veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart from the rest of the body.

Unlike other body parts, the veins in the legs work hard to return the blood to the heart, especially while standing, walking, running, etc. Because at the time, the veins in the legs have to work against gravity. To help these veins, our muscles in the legs tighten to work as a pump and return the blood to the heart.

There are also tiny valves in the veins which open as blood flows towards the heart and close to stop the backflow. When these valves don’t work properly, blood starts pooling in the veins, which causes veins to stretch, twist and bulge. This condition is called varicose veins.

In this condition, you can experience:

• Dark purple, blue or skin colour veins
• Twisted, bulging or knotty veins

In some cases, you can also experience:

• Heavy or achy feeling in the legs
• Muscle cramping or swelling in the legs
• Pain after standing or sitting for a long time
• Itching around damaged veins

In the early stage, you may be recommended lifestyle changes like exercise, raising the legs above heart level when sitting or lying and wearing compression stockings. However, when these suggestions don’t work and you are in an advanced stage, you may be recommended for the VenaSeal procedure.

As VenaSeal is a painless and safe procedure and has near zero complications, it has become an ideal option for patients suffering from varicose veins.

How to prepare for the VenaSeal procedure?
The VenaSeal closure system is a quick procedure. It takes around 20-45 minutes depending on the severity of the condition. You may not need hospital admission as well. Plus, there is no sedation and you don’t need to follow any dietary restrictions.

The process starts with a physical evaluation wherein your doctor will check your legs. You’ll be further taken for an ultrasound and Doppler test, which will help the doctor to identify the damaged veins. You will also be asked about your medical and allergic history.

What happens during the VenaSeal procedure?
After all the tests, you will be taken to an Interventional Radiology Cath Lab where you will be advised to lie down on a procedure table.

After making you comfortable, the doctor will use ultrasound imaging to insert a thin catheter in the diseased vein. You may feel slight pinching at this moment. Then, the doctor will administer a speciality formulated medical glue into the affected vein through the catheter.

The doctor will then apply a slight pressure over the damaged vein to adhere and seal its walls. Once the vein is sealed off, the catheter will be removed. And a medical adhesive bandage will be placed over the access site. The same will be done for other affected veins.

What happens after the VenaSeal procedure?
Once the damaged vein is sealed off, the blood is rerouted to healthy veins. You will be taken out of the Interventional Radiology Cath Lab.

You’ll be advised on some aftercare tips. There is no need for rest. Recovery from the VenaSeal procedure is immediate. You will be encouraged to walk and join other basic activities.

In case you feel swelling in the legs, you will be advised to raise the legs. If any other symptoms also come like fever or pain in the legs, it’s good to contact your doctor. However, such complications are rare if the procedure is done by an expert doctor.
