Varicose Vein Treatment with VenaBlock and VenaSeal Bioglue

Treatment of varicose veins with bioglue is a revolutionary technique that first appeared in 2010 in America. A year later, it was certified in Europe and received the European CE mark of conformity. The results of clinical studies conducted by the FDA in 2015 proved that this method was the safest and most effective among the existing methods of treating varicose veins at that time. It eliminates not only cosmetic defects but also the cause of their appearance — venous reflux.

The price of varicose vein treatment with bioglue in our clinic includes the cost of the glue itself and the support of experienced surgeons.

How do VenaBlock and VenaSeal Bioglues Work?

Treatment of varicose veins with VenaBlock bioglue is the latest technology that leads to the closure of veins (literally gluing veins) and the disappearance of varicose symptoms. During the procedure, a vascular surgeon, under ultrasound guidance, injects cyanoacrylate glue into the vein, and the vein collapses. The glued vein eventually turns into a fibrous cord and gradually dissolves. Closing the vein with glue does not affect blood circulation — the load is redistributed to healthy veins, which work more efficiently after the affected vein is removed.

Biological glue is a medical cyanoacrylate polymer intended for intravenous use. Medical glues of this class are used in general and plastic surgery as an alternative to sutures during wound closure; in cardiac surgery to stop bleeding; and to close vascular malformations. Bioglue is compatible with body tissues, therefore it does not cause allergies or inflammation.

The method of treating varicose veins with biological glue VenaSeal was invented earlier and used in many clinics in Europe and the USA. Its benefits are supported by data from numerous clinical studies, in which the rates of vein closure exceed 94–98%. The vessel begins to seal 5 seconds after injection and is completely sealed within a few minutes. After hardening, the vein remains soft, so patients feel comfortable. A significant visual effect becomes noticeable after 2–6 weeks.

VenaBlock biological glue has a low viscosity — the vein begins to collapse 1–2 seconds after injection. Complete hardening of the vessel occurs in 10–15 seconds. The initial effect of the procedure is the closure of the affected veins and a decrease in pain and heaviness in the legs. After 1–3 months, patients note the disappearance of spider veins.

How the Use of Bioglue Differs from Other Methods of Varicose Vein Treatment:

• The procedure does not require hospitalization or prolonged bed rest; patients return home shortly after the intervention.
• No special preparation is needed; the procedure is painless and does not require general anesthesia or extensive local anesthesia. There are no surgical incisions.
• Dressings are not required after the procedure, and in most cases there is no need for compression garments or complex postoperative care.
• The treatment is very comfortable and painless. There is no thermal effect, eliminating the risks of nerve damage, burns, or hemorrhage.
• The glue is safe and free of carcinogens. The entire procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance.

INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR TREATMENT OF VEINS WITH BIOGLUE

Indications for treatment of veins with bioglue:

The innovative method of treating varicose veins with bioglue is used in the following categories of patients:

• Acute superficial or migratory thrombophlebitis
• Acute sepsis

How the Procedure with VenaSeal and VenaBlock Is Performed?

Before the procedure, you need to consult a phlebologist and have an ultrasound of the arteries and veins of the legs. The procedure is carried out in the following sequence:

1. The patient is positioned on a couch. The catheter insertion site is numbed with local anesthesia.
2. A puncture is made below the knee, and a small catheter is inserted into the vein. The doctor monitors catheter placement using ultrasound.
3. Bioglue is injected into the affected vein at defined intervals. After each injection, the vein is compressed. The catheter is then repositioned 1–3 cm, and a new portion of glue is delivered. The glue polymerizes on contact with blood and seals the vein walls.
4. The procedure lasts 30–50 minutes. Several veins on both legs can be treated in one session. The catheter is removed, and the puncture site is covered with a small adhesive bandage.

After the procedure, the patient is sent to the ward, where they rest from one to several hours. Then they go home and quickly return to their usual lifestyle. The cosmetic effect becomes noticeable immediately. The risk of disease recurrence after such an intervention is reduced to 1.5–3%.
