Mr Gaunt recently treated his 300th patient with the new Clarivein treatment for varicose veins

Clarivein is one of the new minimally invasive endovenous treatments for varicose veins. At Mr Gaunt’s practice this is performed as a local anaesthetic, walk-in, walk out, outpatient procedure combined with phlebectomies which means all the veins can be treated in one convenient visit. Clarivein is particularly cost-efficient for self-pay patients because although the procedure is performed at a private hospital – with all the back-up and reassurance that this provides- the outpatient setting means that hospital costs are kept to a minimum.

Mr Gaunt says, “So far the results of Clarivein have been very good producing excellent medical and cosmetic results. In my hands the safety profile appears really good with no major complications such as deep vein thrombosis, haematoma or infection”.

Mr Gaunt has been invited to present his results on the Clarivein technique at the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland meeting in November.
