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.

Quitman patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about clarivein:
Your visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
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.
