Why doesn't Endovenous Laser Ablation laser the lower leg?
Not quite sure where you received this information, but it is not correct. Although the majority of procedures may be done in the upper leg, laser ablation can certainly be done in the lower leg, and ...Detailswe do so quite frequently. There may be additional issues that have to be addressed the further down the leg we go, but it can absolutely be done.
