Thermal Radiofrequency Venous Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat various medical conditions, particularly those involving abnormal tissue growth or dysfunction, such as varicose veins . During the procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into the affected area, delivering radiofrequency energy that generates heat to destroy targeted tissue. In the case of varicose veins, RFA effectively closes off faulty veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels and alleviating symptoms like swelling, pain, and discomfort. The need for radiofrequency ablation arises when conservative treatments, such as compression therapy or lifestyle changes, fail to provide adequate relief. By offering a less invasive option with quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods, RFA provides patients with a safe and effective solution to manage their conditions and improve their quality of life.
