In contrast to thermal procedures (EVLA, RFA), perivenous tumescent anesthesia is not required; this eliminates the risk of thermal damage to adjacent structures, such as the saphenous nerve [2]. Routine post-interventional compression therapy is not strictly necessary due to the nature of the procedure. The indication is determined by duplex sonography following clinical classification (e.g., CEAP). Contraindications, concomitant findings, and individual suitability must be medically checked before every procedure.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why this care contract is a milestone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contract shows what becomes possible when service providers, payers, and industry work together on better care pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For patients, it means one thing above all: faster access to modern medicine \u2013 in areas where previously often only older or more invasive procedures were regularly reimbursed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VenaZiel is the first care partner in Germany to open this path for statutory health insurance patients within the framework of this model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VenaZiel: Pioneer in minimally invasive vein medicine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VenaZiel is one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/vein-center\/krampfadern-behandlungen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leading centers for minimally invasive vein therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  in Germany and is recognized as a Medtronic observation center.

Many patients find the procedure to be well-tolerated. How you personally experience the procedure can vary individually \u2013 your treatment team will discuss the process with you in advance.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I have to wear compression stockings after the treatment?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One advantage of the VenaSeal&#x2122; procedure is that routine compression therapy after the procedure is not strictly necessary due to the nature of the procedure [3]. Whether compression is nevertheless sensible in an individual case is decided by your doctor based on your individual findings. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How quickly will I be back to my daily routine?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many patients can return to their daily routine quickly after the treatment.

Whether the method is suitable for your veins can only be reliably assessed after an ultrasound examination (duplex sonography) and medical classification. In some cases, other procedures may be more sensible \u2013 we will discuss this with you individually.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[1] Mobil Krankenkasse \u2013 official membership figures (annual report \/ member statistics); supplementary GKV-Spitzenverband, member statistics of the statutory health insurance funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[2] German Society of Phlebology and Lymphology (DGP) and European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) \u2013 guidelines and recommendations for non-thermal vein ablation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[3] Morrison N. et al., &#8220;Randomized trial comparing cyanoacrylate embolization and radiofrequency ablation for incompetent great saphenous veins (VeClose)&#8221;, Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2015 (incl. long-term follow-ups); supplementary clinical data on the Medtronic VenaSeal&#x2122; Closure System.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern, minimally invasive varicose vein treatment was long difficult to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":97681,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71,48,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press","category-vein-center","category-venaseal-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/venaziel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
