Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in Kharkiv — Advanced Varicose Vein Treatment
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a progressive minimally invasive method for treating varicose vein disease, recognized worldwide as one of the most effective alternatives to traditional surgery. At the Brigid Medical Center in Kharkiv, the procedure is performed using the latest generation system. The method is based on controlled thermal energy acting on the vessel wall, causing it to seal closed. Blood flow is naturally redirected through healthy veins, permanently eliminating the root cause of varicose veins.
Advantages of Radiofrequency Ablation at Brigid Center
Fast and Comfortable
The procedure takes 30–45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort for the patient.
Outpatient Treatment
No hospitalization is required — you can return home the same day the procedure is performed.
High Precision
Ablation is performed under continuous ultrasound guidance, which guarantees maximum safety.
Gentle Impact
Radiofrequency energy acts selectively only on the affected area without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Proven Effectiveness
The success rate exceeds 98%, with the risk of recurrence being less than 5%.
Quick Recovery
Walking is allowed immediately after the procedure, and you can return to an active life within 1–2 days.
Who is Radiofrequency Ablation Recommended For?
Primary Indications for RFA:
- Varicose veins accompanied by pain, heaviness, and swelling.
- Valve insufficiency (venous reflux) of the great or small saphenous veins.
- Large diameter veins (up to 15–20 mm), where other methods may be less effective.
- Chronic venous insufficiency stages C2–C4 according to the CEAP classification.
- Recurrence of the disease after previous surgical treatment.
- A desire for radical results without incisions, scars, or general anesthesia.
Mandatory Diagnostics
Before performing RFA, the patient undergoes a consultation with a phlebologist and duplex ultrasound scanning of the veins. This allows the doctor to accurately determine the anatomical features and create a treatment plan.
How is the RFA Procedure Performed?
The radiofrequency ablation process at our center is highly automated and safe:
- Ultrasound Mapping: Precise identification of the affected vessel's boundaries.
- Puncture: Insertion of the disposable ClosureFast™ catheter through a tiny puncture.
- Tumescent Anesthesia: Creating local numbing and a protective layer around the vein.
- Ablation: Uniform heating and sealing of the vein in 7 cm segments.
- Compression: Application of medical compression stockings to secure the results.
- Activation: A mandatory 30–40 minute walk before heading home.
Post-Procedure Recommendations
- Compression Stockings: Wearing for 5–7 days according to the doctor's prescribed schedule.
- Physical Activity: Daily walking for at least 1 hour.
- Restrictions: Avoid saunas, hot baths, and lifting heavy weights for 2 weeks.
- Follow-up: Mandatory phlebologist examination and ultrasound control within 7–10 days.
