Can endovenous laser ablation techniques be used on any vein?

Oct 09, 2009

ELT will treat veins other than the Saphenous. However, most veins lower in the leg must be treated with sclerotherapy or vein stripping. The ELT treats the larger sources of the problem, but is often impractical when dealing with twisty, small veins, especially on the very low leg or ankle.
