About the clinic

Varicose veins removal at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania, provides specialized care for dilated leg veins. This facility is the only hospital in the Baltic States to hold JCI accreditation. Patients receive treatment at a dedicated Vascular Diseases Center where the post-surgery complication rate stays below 2%.

Treatment Methods for Varicose Veins

The Vascular Diseases Center offers both surgical and non-surgical options to manage vein dilation. Doctors choose a method based on the severity of the condition and the patient's health. The hospital provides the following approaches:

  • Sclerotherapy: A doctor injects a special agent into the damaged vein. This closes the vein and stops it from dilating further.
  • Laser phlebectomy: This minimally invasive endovenous treatment uses laser energy. It requires smaller incisions and helps patients recover faster.
  • Traditional phlebectomy: A surgical method to remove affected vein segments through small skin punctures.
  • Conservative therapy: This includes specialized medication and compression stockings to support blood flow.

Specialized Medical Team

Vascular surgeons perform all consultations and diagnostic examinations at the center. The team includes Prof. Habil. Dr. Aleksandras Antuševas and Doc. Dr. Donatas Inčiūra, who specialize in advanced vascular surgery. Dr. Birutė Vaišnytė also provides surgical care for patients with venous diseases. These specialists manage the entire process from initial vascular imaging to post-operative follow-ups.

Clinic Infrastructure and Safety

Meliva Kardiolita Hospital operates with 44 beds and 4 modern operating rooms. The facility includes an intensive care unit for 10 patients to manage recovery safely. Having an in-house laboratory allows for quick diagnostic tests before the procedure. Patients also have access to an on-site rehabilitation center to help with mobility after treatment. To assist international visitors, the hospital provides a personal coordinator who speaks English. You can request a consultation for vein treatment through the Bookimed platform.
