this therapy is used in the treatment of a vascular malformation. A toxic substance, usually 95% ethanol, is injected directly into the lesion from several different locations. This causes the clotting and shrinkage of the vessels. There can be side effects and several treatments may be necessary. Anesthesia is often required.
Treatment of varices (see below) by the injection of a solution into the varices which blocks them during endoscopy.
A process in which a physician injects an irritating chemical directly into the affected veins, which causes the veins to scar
A procedure in which a chemical irritant solution is injected into a vein to sclerose, or harden it by causing scar formation. This forces blood flow to nearby healthy blood vessels. Sclerotherapy may be performed to treat hemorrhoids, esophageal varices, varicose and spider veins.
A technique of injecting a solution into varicose veins which causes the vein to close and shrink.
A way of treating varicose veins by injecting a solution into the vein.
A process whereby a concentrated solution of salt water or other substance is injected into the vein, causing the vein to shrink. The vein becomes invisible, since it no longer carries blood. Used as a cosmetic treatment for Spider veins.
The use of sclerosing chemicals to treat varicosities such as hemorrhoids or esophageal varices.
a procedure performed to reduce or eliminate spider veins and/or varicose veins in the legs. This treatment involves injections of a chemical solution into the veins.
Direct injection of an irritating solution into a vascular malformation to cause it to shrink.
A method of removing internal hemorrhoids by injection of a hardening or sclerosing agent, thereby causing it to scar and die off.
The injection of a chemical irritant into a vein to sclerose ("harden") it. The chemical irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to swell and the blood to clot. The vein turns into scar tissue that fades from view. Blood flow shifts to nearby healthy blood vessels. See the entire definition of Sclerotherapy
injecting small varicose veins with concentrated salt solution (hypertonic saline; performed in the office.).
Treatment method in which a fluid (a sclerosant) is injected into a vein in order to cause a reaction in the walls of the vein which in turn causes the vein to become non-functional and to gradually fade away. (see sclerosant, poly........)
This is an injection therapy used to reduce the unwanted blood vessels (spider veins) on the legs and occasionally on the face, involving minimal discomfort.
A method to stop bleeding from the esophagus (esophageal varices) or the stomach. Different types of medications are used in different situations. Sclerotherapy is most commonly associated with treating or obliterating esophageal varices.
Often used for treatment of small diameter (1-2 mm) surface veins, such as spider veins. The physician injects a liquid, such as highly concentrated saline solution, that destroys the vein lining so it collapses.
the process of eradicating spider veins by injecting them with saline solution. It is performed in a dermatologist's office.
a treatment for varicose veins and spider veins. A chemical solution injected into the enlarged vein causes it to collapse and form scar tissue.
Injection of varices (see below) with a clotting agent to prevent them from bleeding. This is done using an endoscope and is painless.
Procedure in which veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. .
The use of sclerosing agents in treating disease.
a technique for treating dilated veins by injecting a solution that irritates and collapses the vessel
a technique whereby a solution of concentrated salt, sugar, and alcohol or other agents is injected into veins, This irritates the lining of the veins causing them to adhere together and to subsequently shrink and disappear.
A medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and "spider veins." During the procedure, an injection of a solution (generally sodium chloride) in placed directly into the vein.
Process of injecting veins with chemical irritant, which causes the vein to turn to scar tissue and fade from view.
injecting an agent into the vein causing its obliteration
Also known as vein therapy, this medical procedure is used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins.
Treatment involving the injection of a sclerosing (hardening) solution into vessels or tissues.
Sclerotherapy is a procedure used to treat blood vessels or blood vessel malformations (vascular malformations) and also those of the lymphatic system, which are vessels involved in the immune system providing protection against infection. A medicine is injected into the vessels, which makes them shrink. It is suitable for most children and young adults with vascular or lymphatic malformations.
