PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwire - October 24, 2008) - Approximately 25 percent of all women and 15 percent of all men suffer from great saphenous vein reflux, commonly known as varicose veins. The traditional surgical treatment for the condition was stripping and ligation, a solution many patients found very painful -- and one that required up to six weeks of recovery time. Now, the Vein Institute of Pittsburgh(SM) is offering a far simpler, minimally invasive treatment called VenaCure™ Laser Venous System.
