Micro-Phlebectomy for Varicose Veins - VEINatlanta

VEINatlanta's Dr. Prevosti explains what a micro-phlebectomy is and how it is used to treat varicose veins. Ambulatory micro-phlebectomy (AP) is used to treat bulging and visible varicose veins. It is usually performed as part of a comprehensive vein treatment plan. The procedure is performed in the office with local anesthesia. A series of small nicks about 2-3mm in length are made in the skin along the course of the vein. Using specialized instruments, the vein is carefully removed in small sections. Steri-strips (small pieces of tape) are placed over the tiny incisions. In most cases no sutures are necessary.
