Treatment

Endovenous Laser (EVLA).

Minimally invasive laser closure of refluxing veins.

What is Endovenous Laser (EVLA)?

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) uses targeted laser energy delivered through a thin fiber to close diseased saphenous veins from the inside. It has replaced traditional vein stripping for most patients with venous reflux.

How does Endovenous Laser (EVLA) work?

EVLA uses laser energy delivered inside the vein to heat and seal diseased veins, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins.

The procedure involves:

  1. 01Ultrasound guidance is used to access the refluxing vein.
  2. 02A laser fiber is advanced into the vein and slowly withdrawn while delivering energy.
  3. 03The vein seals closed and is gradually absorbed; circulation reroutes to healthy veins.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Endovenous Laser (EVLA)?

EVLA is typically recommended for patients with symptomatic varicose veins caused by underlying vein reflux.

It is suitable for you if you have:

  • Symptomatic varicose veins
  • Documented saphenous vein reflux
  • Heaviness, aching, swelling tied to vein disease
