ENDOVASCULAR VENOUS LASER TREATMENT
(EVLT)
An EVLT venous ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that allows closure of a targeted vein from within utilizing heat based technique.
Heat based techniques have been performed longer than all other minimally invasive techniques and have been studied extensively.
Advantages
Minimally invasive treatment strategy.
Same day procedure with little to no downtime.
No foreign body to worry about with treatment as all that remains after treatment is the closed vein
No concerns for allergic reaction.
Well established treatment strategy, extensively studied.
Smallest catheters available, capable of navigating some very tortuous veins.
Disadvantages
Heat based treatments have more discomfort at the time of treatment
Limitation on level of access for treatment given proximity to nerves and heat. May require subsequent treatment to effectively close entire diseased vein segment.
Possible scarring and discoloration of skin superficially.
