What is ClariVein?

ClariVein is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided treatment for varicose veins. This is a safe and effective means of removing varicose veins with minimal post-treatment bruising, discomfort, or side effects. The procedure involves inserting a specialized catheter with a rotating into the diseased vein via an incision. The catheter, when activated, damages the diseased vein’s walls while injecting a medicine called sclerosant, thus collapsing the varicose veins.

The ClariVein Procedure Overview

During your ClariVein treatment, the vein physician will administer local anesthesia and make a small incision on the skin’s surface on your affected leg. The ClariVein device will be inserted through the incision and into the diseased saphenous vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the specialized ClariVein device is activated, its rotating wire damages the diseased vein while injecting a sclerosant chemical that fuses it shut. The procedure concludes within 30 minutes, following which you can resume your daily activities and work with no downtime.

The ClariVein Device

The ClariVein procedure is performed using a specialized catheter with a rotating wire tip. The catheter is a hollow needle that delivers sclerosant medicine into the diseased vein to seal it shut. As such, the ClariVein procedure is performed with a combination of mechanical energy and chemical energy, rather than thermal energy.

The Side Effects of ClariVein:

Numbness and tingling of the thighs and calves, which can be alleviated with medications.
Skin discoloration and darkening, which can be treated with topical creams.

Limitations of ClariVein

ClariVein is only suitable for the treatment of large, tortuous varicose veins. It shouldn’t be used to treat small veins on the face, feet, and hands because these areas contain dense artery connections, and accidentally damaging the arteries can be problematic.
