Foam Phlebectomy: Technique & Outcomes

about this presentation

Foam phlebectomy is technique that I developed in the mid 2000-'s as a method to optimize treatment of superficial varicosities. It combines the techniques of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy with ambulatory phlebectomy. The combination of the 2 procedures in one setting optimizes the treatment of patients with superficial varicosities by improving outcomes and minimizing patient secondary visits and overall cost.
