ENDOVENOUS
LASER THERAPY OF VARICOSE VEINS (EVLT)
INTRODUCING
A NEW TREATMENT FOR SEVERE VARICOSE VEINS
Yorkville Vein Clinic is happy to now offer our patients EndoVenous
Laser Ablation treatment or EVLT
a new alternative to treating severe varicose veins. Using
state-of-the-art ultrasound guided technology, we are able to eliminate
the need for stripping surgery.
The technique delivers laser energy directly to the vein causing
the vein to collapse and seal shut. Performed in our office, the
procedure takes only aproximately 45 minutes following which patients
can resume their normal daily activities.
With a 97% success rate for first time EVLT
treatments, this method provides long-lasting results without requiring
a hospital stay and with virtually no risk of scarring. Although
this new treatment is not covered by OHIP, Its significant advantages
over the traditional surgical approach has made it the preferred
approach for a growing number of patients.
This treatment is provided by Dr. Alan Lossing,
a leading Toronto Vascular Surgeon.
