New Sclerotherapy Foam Causes Microembolisms

AA046200_4.jpg

The hottest new treatment in resolving varicose veins is VNUS Closure Fast, an efficient laser method of sealing off the problematic veins. Despite its popularity, it is not the only new vein treatment method that's been getting a lot of attention lately. A new method of scleroptherapy, which uses foam injections, is also being carefully examined by people interested in the forward motion of vein treatment medicine.

The foam was declared safe for use in the past month or so. However, since it's a new treatment, people remain interested in new studies associated with its use. One such study was recently reported by the The New England Journal of Medicine. It showed that people who use this treatment method are risking the chance of developing a microembolism. However, patients shouldn't go on high alert as these microembolisms are said to be mostly harmless.
