The Benefits of Radiofrequency
Ablation
Lawrence J. Markovitz MD
Introduction
• After receiving his MD from the Mount Sinai School of
Medicine, thoracic surgeon Dr. Lawrence J. Markovitz
served as chairman of Thoracic and Cardiovascular
Surgery at Mayo/Midelfort Clinic in Eau Claire,
Wisconsin. Today, Lawrence J. Markovitz, MD, focuses
on phlebology and treats vein conditions using
techniques like radiofrequency ablation.
While radiofrequency ablation is used to treat a range
of conditions, including neck pain and arthritis, the use
of this technique to treat varicose veins has benefits
that surpass those offered by traditional treatment
methods.
Radiofrequency Ablation
• While some standard procedures require surgery,
radiofrequency ablation allows a surgeon to reroute the
flow of blood to healthy veins through a catheter, making a
small puncture rather than a large incision.
Patients tend to report generally no discomfort following
the procedure and can resume normal activities on the day
of the procedure. Rarely is there any scar at all as the
procedure us performed through a 1 mm incision. Through
this, a thin catheter is passed into the vein. The catheter
will then heat in 20-second intervals, sealing the vein by
inciting the collagen within it to raise in temperature and
then contract, until the vein has closed.

The Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation

  • 1. The Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation Lawrence J. Markovitz MD
  • 2. Introduction • After receiving his MD from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, thoracic surgeon Dr. Lawrence J. Markovitz served as chairman of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Mayo/Midelfort Clinic in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Today, Lawrence J. Markovitz, MD, focuses on phlebology and treats vein conditions using techniques like radiofrequency ablation. While radiofrequency ablation is used to treat a range of conditions, including neck pain and arthritis, the use of this technique to treat varicose veins has benefits that surpass those offered by traditional treatment methods.
  • 3. Radiofrequency Ablation • While some standard procedures require surgery, radiofrequency ablation allows a surgeon to reroute the flow of blood to healthy veins through a catheter, making a small puncture rather than a large incision. Patients tend to report generally no discomfort following the procedure and can resume normal activities on the day of the procedure. Rarely is there any scar at all as the procedure us performed through a 1 mm incision. Through this, a thin catheter is passed into the vein. The catheter will then heat in 20-second intervals, sealing the vein by inciting the collagen within it to raise in temperature and then contract, until the vein has closed.
