VNUS Closure procedure available at Mobridge Regional Hospital

JAN 11, 2008

With our highly trained and experienced surgeon, Dr. Bela Csaki, the Mobridge Regional Hospital is now able to provide the VNUS Closure procedure for venous reflux disease. This disease occurs when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart become damaged or diseased. As a result, vein valves will not close properly, leading to symptoms of varicose veins, pain, swollen limbs, leg heaviness, skin changes and skin ulcers. the Closure procedure has proven to be highly effective with higher than 90% of veins treated remaining reflux free. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis.

Are you a candidate?

Many factors contribute to the presence of venous reflux disease, including:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Family History
  • Multiple Pregnancies

Using ultrasound to scan your leg(s), our technologists will determine if superficial venous reflux is present. Speak with your physician about determining your candidacy for the Closure procedure.
