Minimally Invasive Approach to Varicose Veins

Minimally Invasive Approach to Varicose Veins:

"Using a new system that delivers laser energy through a catheter, Duke University Medical Center vascular surgeons are now treating varicose veins without surgery. In most cases, patients are up and walking within hours after the minimally invasive procedure, compared to a six-week recovery after traditional surgery, in which the treated veins are 'stripped' out of the leg."
