The Giacomini vein is a superficial interconnecting venous pathway and in some patients may contribute to pathological reflux. Treatment is indicated not simply because the vein is present, but when hemodynamically significant reflux has been demonstrated.
What it addresses / benefits
- treatment of Giacomini vein reflux
- ultrasound guidance
- non-thermal treatment
- minimally invasive injections
- possible unilateral or bilateral treatment.
Preparation
The vein must be accurately mapped by ultrasound because its anatomy may vary.
How the procedure is performed
Foamed sclerosant is injected into the selected pathological segment under ultrasound guidance.
Result / recovery
The treated vessel is assessed during follow-up ultrasound.
