V Within the muscles, it carries 90% of the blood and does not usually cause varicose veins.

What is Reflux?
Varicose Veins/Varices
v The venous system has two levels:
The arteries carry oxygenated blood to the legs, and the veins return it without oxygen to the heart. The heart sends it to the lungs for oxygen, and then pumps it back to the legs through the arteries.
The Circulatory System
Formed by the saphenous veins, it carries 10% and is the origin of varicose veins.
If the valves do not close properly, blood flows back down, causing pressure on the veins and their dilation, which leads to varicose veins. All veins have valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards.
Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV):
Main superficial vein, causes 80% of varicose veins.
Lesser Saphenous Vein (LSV):
Back of the leg, causes 15% of varicose veins.
Perforating Veins:
Dilated superficial branches that form lumps under the skin are the branches of the diseased trunk. To eliminate varicose veins effectively, the diseased saphenous vein must be treated in its entirety and the dependent veins, which are the ones we notice under the skin, must be sealed.
They connect the saphenous veins to the deep circulation, cause 5% of varicose veins and most ulcers.
Varicose veins:
Can varicose veins cause serious problems?
Untreated refluxing of veins over years can cause filtration of blood into the tissues, brown spots, swelling, oedema and venous stasis. (oedema) and venous stasis. Prolonged stasis can lead to chronic venous ulcers, which are difficult to treat. Not all patients with varicose veins develop ulcers, but the risk increases if the skin starts to turn brown around the ankles.

S Foam (sclerotherapy):
Some patients live with chronic discomfort without major complications, accepting the risk of their varicose veins
Compression stockings:
Minimally invasive treatments
Clarivein:
This system combines mechanical and chemical means to damage the vein and subsequently seal it. While it offers the advantage of not requiring local anesthesia, it has been shown to have a higher recurrence rate compared to laser and adhesive-based treatments.
To do nothing:
Ambulatory microphlebectomy:
Minimally invasive treatments
s Varicose branch removal using hooks introduced through tiny needle incisions. This procedure is conducted under local anesthesia and serves as a complementary treatment following endovenous laser therapy.
Radiofrequency: They facilitate blood return to the heart, relieving pain and discomfort, but they do not cure the disease and are not a definitive treatment if there are symptoms.
An ultrasound-guided procedure involving the injection of a sclerosing agent into a vein, resulting in its collapse and subsequent sclerosis. This method is effective for treating varicose tributaries but has a high recurrence rate for saphenous veins and their associated varicosities.
While similar to laser treatment, radiofrequency ablation employs a thicker electrode, limiting its ability to reach as many areas as laser therapy. Nonetheless, both techniques yield comparable outcomes.
An ultrasound-guided procedure involving the injection of a sclerosing agent into a vein, resulting in its collapse and subsequent sclerosis. This method is effective for treating varicose tributaries but has a high recurrence rate for saphenous veins and their associated varicosities.
It commonly leads to skin hyperpigmentation over the treated veins, which typically resolves spontaneously within weeks to months.
Elimination of varicose veins through the application of internal heat within the vein. Techniques include endovenous laser, radiofrequency, and steam ablation
Endovenous thermal ablation:
It commonly leads to skin hyperpigmentation over the treated veins, which typically resolves spontaneously within weeks to months.
Endovenous laser:
Venatek's medical staff has rigorously tested various energy sources, including lasers (810nm, 940nm, 1320nm, 1470nm, 1940nm), radiofrequency, and steam. The 1470nm laser with automatic fiber retraction has proven to be the most effective, with a recurrence rate of less than 2% at 8 years and excellent patient tolerance. As a result, it is now the treatment of choice, offering minimal discomfort and allowing patients to quickly resume their normal activities.
Water vapor: Steam is injected into the vein. Compared to laser ablation, this method has shown lower efficacy and a higher rate of recurrence.
N-butyl cyanoacrylate (glue): By adhering to the vein walls, this treatment eliminates the need for local anesthesia along the entire vein and often bypasses the requirement for compression stockings. It is a minimally invasive option particularly well-suited for younger patients with a limited number of varicose veins.
Classical surgery:
Ligation and vein stripping. This procedure is less favored due to associated discomfort, potential complications, and a significant recurrence rate of 25%.
A customized treatment plan:
At Venatek, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a medical history and Doppler ultrasound, to understand your specific condition. Based on our findings, we will explain your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
If no reflux is detected: The issue lies in the presence of fine varicose veins, rather than a more significant venous disease.
If reflux is present: We will work with you to determine the optimal course of action, whether it be watchful waiting or a more active treatment such as laser, foam, or glue therapy.
Endovenous laser and radiofrequency ablation are considered the gold standard treatments for venous reflux by medical societies (2023).
