A vein ablation option that uses a medical adhesive to seal a diseased vein shut.
VenaSeal⢠uses a medical adhesive delivered through a thin catheter to seal a diseased vein shut. It's one of the vein ablation options Dr. J. Keith Thompson offers, chosen based on each patient's vein anatomy and treatment goals.

Waynesboro patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venaseal:
We keep the first visit simple ā check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.
VenaSeal does not require tumescent (fluid) anesthesia the way some heat-based ablations do, and most patients return to normal activity quickly after the in-office procedure.
Patients from Waynesboro choose the Vein Institute because our Meridian office is approx. 60 mi (about 75 min) away and is staffed by a board-certified vein specialist rather than a general practice that treats veins occasionally. Dr. J. Keith Thompson is double board-certified in general and vascular surgery and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.
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.
