Daniel Taylor - Whiteley Clinic Summer Research Fellow 2012
Presenting the 10 year results of VNUS Closure of varicose veins
Daniel Taylor has spent this summer recalling pateints who were treated over 10 years ago at The Whiteley Clinic with the VNUS Closure Radiofrequency Ablation system and then analysing all of the 10 years scans of their legs.
 
He has been finding out what the results of this technique are and, if there were any problems, where they came from. The results appear to be the first 10 year results available from endovenous surgery.
 
Daniel has also submitted his research for an American Venous meeting, and will be submitting the same for a UK venous meeting prior to submitting the results for publication.
