Endovenous Laser Ablation Treatment (EVLA) is a procedure that helps to close varicose veins, restarting circulation and removing twisted part ultimately the bulging veins to regain normalcy. Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive medical treatment procedure used to treat varicose veins and it is done with the help of laser energy use through catheter.
EVLA is very effective as it has the same day discharge treatment procedure for outpatient. Quick recovery and minimal invasive procedure is added feature of EVLA. EVLA has several applications such as varicose veins treatment, helps to improve blood flow in legs and reduce the risk of leg ulcer formation and in some cases of Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) usually arised after deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are also treated by this method.
A fine laser fiber is inserted through a tiny skin puncture and guided into the affected vein using ultrasound. Once in position, controlled laser energy is delivered along the length of the vein. The heat causes the vein to collapse, close, and eventually be absorbed by the body. The treatment is typically done under local anesthesia, and patients can walk immediately after.
