Endoluminal laser therapy

Endovenous laser treatment of varicose veins with EVA 980 Diode Laser System
In the treatment of vascular diseases, the laser treatment of one of its earliest applications. Nevus flammeus and hemangioma should be mentioned here in particular. Recently, laser therapy has also been established for the treatment of arterial occlusions of the leg, vascular lesions, varicose veins and vascular malformations.
Here, the laser therapy, in addition to their traditional use in the treatment of spider veins Phlebology transcutaneous, also used for endovascular treatment of varicosis. The principle of this therapy is the effect of heat on the endoluminal pathologic vessels without ligation of the femoral artery in the groin.

The EVA 980 (Endovenous Angiolas 980 nm) therapy causes a closure of the treated vessel, triggered by a laser-mediated heat damage to the inner vein wall. It was shown nm for the applied laser wavelength 980, that this ideal is absorbed in the blood and water and the penetration depth for endoluminal laser therapy is optimal. By the absorption of laser energy in hemoglobin leads to the conversion of laser energy into heat energy. The heat absorption in hemoglobin leads to the formation of intravascular steam bubbles. By thermal energy causes the damage to the endothelium and the inner vein wall. Only later does one lock the laser energy through the damaged veins.

The 980 nm laser light is applied in pulsed mode with continuous, slow withdrawal (about 3-5mm) per pulse of the fiber. After completion of treatment is the application of a compression bandage. Later, the class II compression stockings are worn approximately 10 days. The patient is mobilized immediately after surgery.

The main message that can be made on the basis of this study is that the 980 nm Angiolas Endovenous treatment of the saphenous vein, with a 980 nm diode laser system in the sequence shown safe and effective. The side effects are temporary. Since no other specific, significant side effects were observed, which remains EVA 980 – the benefit of the therapy and the lack of venous access minimalinvasieven Inguinalschnitts.
An important advantage of the EVA 980 nm Varizentherapie is its applicability in all circumstances, instead of the traditional treatments of VSM phlebochirurgischen.
