Are all patients with varicose veins candidates for Endovenous Laser Closure (EVLT – Varicose Vein Treatment, ELAS) or VNUS® Closure of the saphenous vein?
Patients who cannot be treated with endovenous closure of the saphenous vein include those with: • Recurrent varicose veins (after previous saphenous vein stripping); • Varicose veins that are unrelated to saphenous vein reflux. This still leaves over nine out of ten patients with large varicose veins as candidates for laser or VNUS® closure of the saphenous vein.
