How does VNUS Closure work to treat venous insufficiency?
Since valves can’t be repaired, the only alternative is to re-route blood flow through healthy veins. Traditionally, this has been done by surgically removing (stripping) the troublesome vein from your leg. The Closure procedure provides a less-invasive alternative to vein stripping by simply closing the problem vein. Once the diseased vein is closed, other healthy veins take over and empty blood from your legs.
