The ClosureFAST® procedure sets a new medical benchmark in the treatment of vein complaints.
Newest studies suggest that every third Austrian suffers from a vein complaint; According to WHO (World Health Organisation) this number is set to rise in the coming years. Affected are women as well as men, and there are many reasons for that: hereditary, obesity, age, lack of exercise, standing up occupation, pregnancy. Every fifth person has to undergo a least one operation in their life caused by massive problems with veins.
So far, over 100.000 varicose veins patients have been treated with the little strenuous endoluminal procedure. Against the background of the established method, radio frequency treatment using ClosureFAST®, provides a definitively more comfortable treatment for the patient.
We now offer this comfort in the ambulant treatment of varicose veins to our patients. After a vein puncture, a catheter insertion can treat the main vein on the inside leg or calf, safely, gentle and pain free within a few minutes. Compared to conventional, and until now used laser treatment methods, the treated vessel is not ‘burned’, but glued together with gentle and controlled heat (Microwaves) and consequently closes up. Therefore, the surrounding tissue is not damaged, a problem that always occurred with existing treatment methods. This surgical procedure can safely be performed ambulant under local anaesthetic under constant ultrasound control.
The long term results of the new radio frequency therapy show considerably better results by pain development and satisfaction of patients after the end of the treatment compared to conventional, and therefore known methods of treatment. Only a few patients complain of pain after the operation compared to traditional methods. Usually the pain completely subside 2-3 days after the treatment. This pain can be eased with light medication.
