Varicose veins can cause aching, heaviness, swelling and visible, twisted veins in the legs. TEVLA (Total Endovenous Laser Ablation) is a minimally invasive treatment that targets the affected vein from inside, without traditional vein-stripping surgery.
At Vascular Care Clinic, Dr. Usman Jamil Mughal, Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, offers TEVLA for suitable patients following a detailed vascular assessment.
TEVLA stands for Total Endovenous Laser Ablation. It is a type of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) used to treat problem veins from the inside instead of removing them through surgery. It is a modern option for laser treatment for varicose veins for suitable patients.
During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is guided into the affected vein using ultrasound. The laser applies controlled heat to the vein, causing it to close. Blood can then flow through healthier veins nearby.
For suitable patients, TEVLA can also treat the main affected vein and smaller branch veins during the same session. The exact treatment depends on the patient’s vein condition and ultrasound results.
TEVLA is still a surgical procedure, but it is a modern, minimally invasive approach. It is usually performed through a small access point rather than a large incision, with local anaesthesia used when appropriate.
Your doctor checks your veins and symptoms. A duplex ultrasound may be used to see the blood flow and find the affected veins.
A small opening is made in the skin, and a thin laser fibre is guided into the affected vein.
The laser uses controlled heat to close the affected vein.
Your doctor gives you aftercare advice and follow-up instructions based on your treatment.
