| | Sclerotherapy and phlebectomy procedures that treat varicose veins at the surface of the skin are complementary to the Closure procedure because they do not treat saphenous vein reflux and may be used in conjunction with the Closure system. | | | Patients treated with vein stripping reported worsening of leg pain three days and one week after surgery, while patients treated with the Closure procedure reported a reduction of leg pain as early as three days after treatment. | | | However, we estimate the incidence of vein stripping procedures is approximately five times the incidence in the United States, with approximately 700,000 patients treated annually. |
