Expert review on the VenaSeal ® system for endovenous cyano-acrylate adhesive ablation of incompetent saphenous trunks in patients with varicose veins.

Expert review on the VenaSeal® system for endovenous cyano-acrylate adhesive ablation of incompetent saphenous trunks in patients with varicose veins. Expert Rev Med Devices. 2017 Sep 11;: Authors: Lam YL, De Maeseneer M, Lawson J, de Borst GJ, Boersma D Abstract INTRODUCTION: The treatment of incompetent truncal veins has been innovated by the introduction of minimally invasive non-thermal non-tumescent (NTNT) techniques. One of these consists of the use of cyanoacrylate glue to occlude the vein lumen by means of the VenaSeal device. Areas covered: This expert-review aims to evaluate NTNT ablation of incompetent saphenous trunks using the VenaSeal device. Expert commentary: Cyanoacrylate adhesive embolization of incompetent truncal veins using the VenaSeal device is a safe and efficacious innovative technique. Further studies are needed to evaluate anatomical and clinical outcomes at long term. PMID: 28892412 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
