The Whiteley Clinic starts local anaesthetic laser for Varicose Veins in Bristol

Varicose Veins in Bristol


This morning (22nd May 2014), Prof Mark Whiteley is performing the first EVLT case at The Whiteley Clinic to treat varicose veins in Bristol. Using Angiodynamics "Gold Tip" Never Touch Direct fibres, Professor Whiteley and his team are treating 2 patients with varicose veins under local anaesthetic. This laser surgery is called "ambulatory surgery" as patients walk in, have their veins treated under local anaesthetic with keyhole surgery, and then walk out again.
