What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to treat varicose veins at their root cause - venous reflux. A thin catheter is inserted through a small puncture in the skin and guided to the diseased vein using high-resolution duplex ultrasound.
Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the catheter, generating controlled heat that causes the targeted tissue - the diseased vein wall - to collapse, seal, and be naturally absorbed by the body. Unlike traditional open surgery, RFA requires no large incisions, no general anaesthesia, and no hospital stay. It is a safe, effective treatment with over 95% long-term closure rates confirmed by follow-up imaging.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern. They signal underlying venous insufficiency that worsens progressively without treatment. You should consult best vascular surgeon if you notice any of the following:
Visible, twisted, bulging veins on the legs, calves, or thighs
Persistent aching, heaviness, or tiredness in the limbs - especially after standing
Swelling in the ankles or feet that worsens during the day
Burning, throbbing, or cramping in leg muscles - particularly night pain
Itching, discolouration, or skin hardening near the affected veins
Tenderness or swelling along a vein with reduced limb mobility
Open venous ulcers near the ankles that are slow to heal
Bleeding from a varicose vein after a minor injury
Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment in Mohali - Step by Step
The RFA procedure is a precise, multi-step process designed for maximum patient safety and clinical efficacy:
Step 1: Consultation and Duplex Ultrasound Mapping
Dr. Ravul Jindal begins with a thorough diagnosis using duplex ultrasound to map the venous system, locate faulty valves, identify abnormal reflux patterns, and determine the extent of disease for a personalised plan.
Step 2: Local and Tumescent Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is administered at the insertion site. A tumescent solution is injected around the vein to ensure comfort, compress the vein, and protect adjacent tissue from heat.
Step 3: Catheter Insertion and Energy Delivery
A thin probe is inserted via needle puncture under ultrasound guidance. Radiofrequency energy heats the vein wall segment by segment, causing thermal destruction while vital signs are monitored.
Step 4: Recovery and Follow-Up
Compression stockings are applied and patients are discharged within 1-2 hours. A follow-up duplex ultrasound is performed within 48 to 72 hours to confirm successful vein closure.
