Zusammenfassung

Die Radiofrequenzablation (RFA) ist seit 1998 in Deutschland zugelassen und hat sich als schonende, minimalinvasive Methode zur Behandlung der Stammvarikose etabliert. Im Rahmen der RFA wird ein Behandlungskatheter in die betroffene Vene eingebracht und thermisch verschlossen. In diesem Artikel wird der Behandlungsablauf mittels einer detaillierten Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung mit Bebilderung der endovenösen thermalen Ablation dargestellt.

Abstract

Radiofrequency therapy (RFA) was approved in Germany in 1998 and has established itself as a gentle minimally invasive method for the treatment of varicose veins. Within RFA a treatment catheter is inserted into the vein which is occluded by thermal ablation. This article gives a detailed step-by-step tutorial and illustration of the radiofrequency therapy.
