What is VenaSeal™

The VenaSeal™ procedure is an advanced varicose vein treatment offered at Tepas Vein Center to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. The VenaSeal™ closure system provides immediate vein closure, which allows for quick relief from painful and uncomfortable symptoms. A small amount of specially-formulated medial adhesive is delivered to the affected vein through a small catheter – the adhesive aims to seal, or close, the diseased vein. Once the affected vein is sealed off, blood flow is rerouted to nearby, healthy veins, and symptoms begin to improve.

  • Performed as a simple outpatient procedure
  • Does not require full anesthesia
  • Allows for a rapid return to normal activities
  • VenaSeal™ is an FDA-approved, minimally-invasive treatment
  • Uses only one incision point (per leg)
  • Involves little, if any pain and bruising
  • Compression socks are not needed after the procedure
  • Provides a more comfortable patient experience than other methods

I think of VenaSeal® as a medical grade "Super Glue" that closes off varicose veins leaving patients with relief and healthier legs.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The minimally-invasive VensSeal™ procedure works by treating the affected veins(s) internally. The impacted vein is accessed via a since needle stick. It is unnecessary to provied tumenscent anethersia, or local anesthesia, over a large region of the leg. Our vein specialist uses ultrasound guidence before and during your procedure. We begin by imaging your legs and inserting a small catheter into the diseased vein. them VensSeal™ medical adhesive is applied to the vein through the catheter. Next, external pressure is applied to the leg to help seal the vein. Finally, the catherter is removed, and a bandage is applied to voer the entry point. VensSeal™ treatments only take 15 to 30 munites. Although your may experience some mniore discomfort or pressure during the procedure, you should not experience signigfigant pain. Some patients describe a pullting or tugging sensastion. When it comes to Venasea™ aftercare, you can leave shortly after treatment ans return to most normal activites. Unlike oter varicose vein treatments, the use of compression socks afterwards is not required. Health professionals use a wide range of instruments to diagnose and treat a disease or other condition, to prevent a worsening of symptoms, to replace a damaged part — such as a hip or a knee — and so on.

  • Swelling in the legs & ankles
  • Heaviness
  • Itching around the veins
  • Achy or heavy legs
  • Bulging or twisted veins
  • Burning or tingling in the legs

Causes of Varicose Veins

The exact cause of varicose veins can not be attributed to just one factor and can vary from patient to patient. Over time, and sometimes from trauma, veins become damaged, causing bulging or twisted veins near the surface of the skin. While some causes can be prevented some people are predisposed to developing varicose veins in their lifetime. Causes of varicose veins may include:
  • Family History
  • Lifestyle
  • Hormonal Changes
  • Personal Health History
  • Gender
  • Age

Treatment for Varicose Veins

VenaSeal™ is an excellent treatment option for those suffering from varicose veins. VenaSeal™ uses a specially formulated medical adhesive to seal or close the diseased vein to eliminate blood flow through the damaged veins. Blood will divert to other healthy veins nearby, providing symptom relief.

Ultrasound testing will be conducted to determine if VenaSeal™ is the right treatment plan for your individual needs. The VenaSeal™ procedure is a simple office procedure that takes around 1 hour from beginning to end.

Tepas Vein Center recommends VenaSeal™ for all patients that meet the criteria as it is a minimally invasive and highly effective in-office procedure that offers fast recovery.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost?

Office consultations, diagnostic testing (ultrasound), and procedures such as VenaSeal™ are covered by most insurance plans. However, each specific insurance plan may have unique criteria or limits in the policy that cover only certain treatment options or possibly only cover treatments such as VenaSeal™ after other treatment methods have been implemented.

Tepas Vein Center has a dedicated pre-authorization department that works to determine what coverages are available that fit the needs of the patient so that out-of-pocket expenses are kept to a minimum.

Patients can expect to pay standard out-of-pocket co-pays for seeing a specialist for a consultation or any follow-up visits.

  • Insurance plans may have a co-pay, co-insurance, or deductibles
  • Self-pay & HSA Plans accepted

Please remember insurance policies vary and coverages can be different for each patient.
