About the clinic
Laser treatment for varicose veins at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, offers a modern way to address vein issues. The Vascular Diseases Center focuses on minimally invasive methods like Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) to help patients recover faster. This medical center is the only facility in the Baltic States to hold JCI accreditation, meeting international safety and quality standards.
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
Vascular surgeons at the clinic provide several ways to treat damaged veins depending on the severity of the condition. While traditional surgery is available, most patients choose laser phlebectomy. This method uses heat from a laser to close off the problematic vein without large incisions. The hospital also offers conservative therapies for early-stage issues:
- Compression therapy and specialized medications to improve blood flow.
- Sclerotherapy for smaller spider veins or minor vessel damage.
- Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for a quick return to daily activities with less scarring.
- Traditional phlebectomy for complex cases that require physical vein removal.
Specialized Vascular Surgeons
The Vascular Diseases Center is staffed by highly qualified experts who hold advanced academic degrees. Prof. habil. dr. Aleksandras Antuševas works as a vascular surgeon and professor at the facility. He is joined by Doc. dr. Donatas Inčiūra, an associate professor who specializes in modern surgical techniques. Dr. Birutė Vaišnytė, a Doctor of Medical Sciences, also performs these delicate vein procedures. These specialists focus on reducing physical discomfort and improving the appearance of the legs.
Care at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital
Patients visiting the hospital benefit from a structured medical environment that follows strict safety protocols. The use of laser technology means the procedure happens inside the vein, which causes less trauma to the surrounding tissue. This approach often helps patients avoid the long hospital stays required by older surgical methods. The hospital staff helps manage every step of the process, from the initial diagnostic ultrasound to the final recovery check-up.
