About the clinic
Sclerotherapy for varicose veins at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, is a non-surgical treatment for superficial leg veins. The procedure uses targeted injections to close damaged vessels, helping to stop further vein dilation. Patients at this facility benefit from the highest safety standards, as it is the only JCI-accredited hospital in the Baltic States.
Treatment at the Vascular Diseases Center
The Vascular Diseases Center provides complete care for vein health. Surgeons start with a detailed vascular ultrasound examination to map the affected areas. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a specific preparation, called a sclerosant, directly into the vein. This solution causes the vessel to close and eventually fade away. The hospital maintains an overall complication rate below 2% for surgical and vascular procedures.
Expert Vascular Surgeons
A team of specialists performs these treatments to manage vein health. The department includes Prof. habil. dr. Aleksandras Antuševas, a professor with a habilitation degree. Doc. dr. Donatas Inčiūra also treats patients as an Associate Professor of vascular surgery. The team further includes Dr. Birutė Vaišnytė and Dr. Agnė Gimžauskaitė, who focus on vascular diseases.
Comprehensive Vein Care Options
While sclerotherapy is a popular conservative choice, the hospital offers several ways to treat leg veins depending on the case:
- Compression therapy to improve blood flow naturally.
- Medication to support vessel walls.
- Laser phlebectomy for a minimally invasive surgical approach.
- Traditional phlebectomy for more advanced vascular issues.

Meliva Kardiolita Hospital hosts 29 medical specialties under one roof. The facility includes an in-house laboratory for quick diagnostic results.
