Professor Mark Whiteley has just returned from a 4 day course about CHIVA surgery for varicose veins in Cremona, Italy with Prof Claude Franceschi, Dr Roberto Delfrate and Dr Massimo Bricchi.
CHIVA is a technique of treating varicose veins developed by Prof Claude Franceschi which essentially diverts blood rather than destroying veins.
There are several potential advantages of this system - but the main advantage is the saving of the main saphenous vein in the leg, which is then available for bypass surgery later in life if needed.
CHIVA is one of the many new developments in venous surgery that are going to be offered to Whiteley Clinic patients in 2014.
