Completion of bespoke Endovenous Course at The Whiteley Clinic

Today sees the completion of a very successful bespoke Endovenous Course at The Whiteley Clinic, run by The Clinical Exchange.

Dr Hussein Safar and Dr Abdulaziz Al-Muzaini, leading vascular surgeons in Kuwait, joined The Whiteley Clinic team for the whole range of endovenous procedures including EVLA (laser), RFiTT / RFA (Radiofrequency), TRLOP (perforator vein Closure), ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy and microsclerotherapy.

In addition, we discussed the latest research into how venous problems occur and also the latest treatments for veins and leg ulcers - particluarly complex recurrent varicose veins that had been treated elsewhere using more dated techniques and had recurred.

As with all of the visitors to The Whiteley Clinic courses, we will be keeping in close contact with our new friends in Kuwait providing advice and support whenever needed.

Mark Whiteley speaking at Endovenous Forum in Barcelona

Tomorrow afternoon, Mark Whiteley will be giving an invited talk at the Endovenous Forum at 9th International Symposium on Endovascular Therapies in Barcelona as part of the faculty of the meeting http://site2011.atlantacongress.org/ponentes

His talk will be "Ablation techniques for perforator vein incompetence: Methods and results".

In it, he will present the TRLOP (TRansLuminal Occlusion of Perforator) technique that Mark and Judy Holdstock invented in 1999 and the results of the TRLOP technique used with different catheter devices.

He will also explain that PAP (Perforator Ablation Procedure) that "appeared" in the USA in about 2004, following a talk the Mark gave in Miami, is essentially exactly the same procedure.

Therefore to save confusion, it would be sensible if the original name for the procedure was used - TRLOP.

Mark will also be presenting some comparative data between different Radiofrequency devices and Lasers showing which are best to use with TRLOP to ablate incompetent perforating veins.
