Minimally Invasive Surgeries go Abroad
Minimally invasive procedures like radiofrequency, VNUS and endovenous laser removal have all been readily accessible and used in the United States. Now such procedures are heading overseas to China. The numbers in China are far greater than that of the US, 100 million in China suffer from varicose veins and spider veins. In fact the minimally invasive charge is heading into the Asian market with full force; trained vascular surgeons will be training Chinese based physicians on such techniques.
China Daily said, "The hospital is cooperating with InaVein Llc and VNUS Inc from the United States, as well as Diomed Inc from the United Kingdom, to set up the TriVex, RFO (radiofrequency endoveous occlusion) and EVLT (endovenous laser treatment) training centers. It will hold the first training class on minimally invasive treatment for 193 doctors, mainly from northern China."
The training sessions will hopefully spread into the greater Asian region.
