Vein Treatment
VenaSeal
What Is VenaSeal?
VenaSeal is a minimally invasive procedure that uses medical glue to close diseased veins.
Who Could Benefit from VenaSeal?
Anyone with varicose veins, leg lymphedema or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
In this simple outpatient procedure, your physician will insert a catheter into the diseased vein through a small access point and add a small amount of medical glue. The glue holds the walls of the vein together, redirecting the blood flow to healthy veins.

When To Worry About Varicose Veins
Enlarged veins appear when the valves in the veins don’t work properly. If the valves become weakened or damaged, blood pools in the veins, causing them to swell, bulge and turn purple or blue. Varicose veins can develop anywhere, but they most often develop in the legs. That’s because leg veins have to fight gravity to get blood all the way up to the heart.
