Venaseal In Varicose Veins-Histopathological Changes of Tissue and Veins

Zierau UT, Sell M and Lahl W

Abstract

Since 7 years we are working with VenaSeal (Medtronic, Minneapolis), a N-butyl-2 -cyanoacrylate in therapy of truncal varicose veins. Until to today time we treated 2350 truncal veins. The cyanoacrylat-polymer is a high effective vein glue for the treatment of patients with CVI and varicosie veins. As an implanted device, question is important: How long cyanoacrylate persists after using as a vein glue inside the truncal varicose veins.
