The principles of foam sclerotherapy, also known as ultrasound-controlled vein gluing, were developed as far back as the 1940s. In combination with ultrasound, foam sclerotherapy is ideally suited to removing vessels such as saphenous and tributory varicose veins as well as recurrences after varicose vein surgery.
Both prospective and randomised studies have confirmed the efficiency of this treatment method for varicose veins. During foam sclerotherapy, the blood is displaced more easily from the affected vein segment and the sclerosing reaction is improved, as the contact between the inside wall of the vein and the foam becomes more intensive.
As ultrasound shows the sclerosing foam very clearly, the entire treatment can be controlled and documented: from the pre-treatment mapping of the leg veins through to the targeted injection and the controlled distribution of the foam in the vessels.
Dr. Stephan Guggenbichler and his team introduced the technique of foam sclerotherapy in Germany several years ago. This treatment method has been performed at AmbulantesBeinCentrum in Munich ever since. Gentle foam sclerotherapy is chosen especially by patients whose varicose veins have reappeared after an operation.
As far back as November 2003, at the 6th International Sclerotherapy Congress in Bologna, the renowned vascular surgeon Professor John J. Bergan already proclaimed that "foam will be the future of varicose vein treatment."
