Varicose Veins
Veins with poor or non-functioning valves enlarge and then become varicose veins. They can have a red or bluish colour and appear on the leg surface. Symptoms can include heaviness, aching, throbbing, itching and cramps or tiredness in the legs. Some people may have skin discolouration, inflammation or ulcers on the skin. If these are distressing, they may be treated.
About Endovenous treatment (EVT)
It is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. It has been approved by Medicare and recently allocated a Medicare item number and also covered by private health insurance. The size and shape of the varicose veins will determine whether it is suitable for EVT. The catheter is attached to a generator which is used to close (obliterate) the varicose vein using locally directed heat, redirecting blood through other healthy veins. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia as day surgery at Moruya Surgical.
