Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Livingston, AL, the Vein Institute's Meridian office provides clarivein treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques ā the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
A non-thermal vein ablation option that closes a diseased vein using a rotating catheter and a medicated solution.
ClariVeinĀ® combines a rotating catheter with a medicated solution to close a diseased vein from the inside, without using heat. Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers ClariVein as one of several vein ablation options, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy.

Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about clarivein:
Your first visit starts with check-in ā no stack of forms to fill out ā followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.
Because no heat is used, some patients find ClariVein involves less local anesthetic than heat-based options. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Livingston patients are approx. 40 mi (about 50 min) from our Meridian location, where every consultation includes time to discuss your specific concerns with your provider. Our practice focuses exclusively on vein care, from in-office ultrasound to advanced vein ablation.
Our clinical team includes a double board-certified vascular surgeon, a Certified Vascular Sonographer with more than 18 years of vein ultrasound experience, and a Nurse Practitioner trained directly by Dr. Thompson in sclerotherapy ā all focused exclusively on vein care.
Getting to the Vein Institute from Livingston is approx. 40 mi (about 50 min) to 103 S Frontage Road, Ste 310, Meridian, MS 39301. Our Meridian clinic is easy to find and accessible without needing an elevator.
