Radiofrequency Ablation: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Venous Disease
At Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department, we offer advanced treatments for venous disease to improve circulation and alleviate symptoms. One of the key procedures we specialise in is Radiofrequency Ablation, a minimally invasive technique that effectively treats varicose veins and other venous conditions.
Radiofrequency Ablation involves the use of radiofrequency energy to heat and seal the affected vein, resulting in its closure. A thin catheter is inserted into the diseased vein during the procedure, guided by ultrasound imaging. The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. Blood flow is rerouted to healthier veins, improving circulation and reducing symptoms.
The key aspects of Radiofrequency Ablation include:
1. Targeted Treatment: Radiofrequency Ablation targets the affected vein, ensuring effective closure and relief of symptoms. The procedure focuses on the underlying cause of venous disease while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
2. Minimally Invasive: Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure typically requiring only local anaesthesia. It involves a small incision and has a shorter recovery time than traditional vein-stripping surgery.
3. Long-Term Results: Radiofrequency Ablation provides long-term results by permanently closing the diseased vein. It helps alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort associated with venous disease, improving quality of life.
At SJMC, our experienced vascular specialists perform Radiofrequency Ablation procedures with precision and expertise. We utilise state-of-the-art technology and follow best practices to ensure optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
