ClariVein is a minimally invasive, office-based treatment option that can be administered quickly and relatively painlessly. The sensation during treatment can be compared to a series of pinching along the length of the vein. ClariVein uses a mechanochemical ablation device that combines two approaches to eliminate the diseased vein. The catheter of the device is inserted into the vein and injects a chemical known as a sclerosing agent, which closes the vein. Simultaneously, it deploys a tiny rotating wire tip, which destroys the diseased vein. The procedure requires less than 30 minutes and only one small entry point into the vein.
When is ClariVein used?
ClariVein is a good option for patients with an anesthetic allergy or if the vein is close to a nerve that could potentially be damaged by heat-based ablation treatments, like radiofrequency or laser ablation.
