Heart and vascular diseases are quite common nowadays. Many people suffer from some form of vein problem that usually appears in the legs. Accurate and timely diagnosis of the disease followed by appropriate treatment helps the patients to regain their well-being and maintain high quality of life in the future. Varicose veins are most frequently caused by venous insufficiency, which affects many people.
Vilnius Heart Surgery Center has recently acquired a new laser for innovative treatment options for surface leg veins. Laser surgical procedure is assisted by an ultrasound specialist and normally lasts about one hour under local anaesthetics. This new laser sends 1470 nm waves, which allows minimum impact on nearby tissues if compared to an older version of the laser (up to 1 mm around the closed vein). Laser surgery does not require any incision or scar in groin. Laser surgery does not affect the nearby tissue as much as the interventional vein surgery, therefore the legs are less painful or bruised. This helps to achieve better cosmetic results as it often helps to avoid additional incisions, which are necessary when traditional surgical method is applied. The patient is able to resume all normal activities right after the laser surgery, which is very important nowadays.
Current treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have very high success rates compared to traditional surgical treatments. It has been determined that laser surgery is safe and pain-free. Laser surgeries are performed strictly according to cosmetic surgery regulations and allow rapid recovery of the patients.
