EVLT (endovenous laser therapy) at ILK is performed by prim. MUDr. Petr Pták, the clinic's vascular surgeon, as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia. A laser fibre is inserted from the groin or popliteal access point into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance; laser energy delivered through the fibre thermally destroys the vein wall as it is withdrawn, causing the vessel to seal and be reabsorbed over the following weeks. EVLT is the principal alternative to surgical vein stripping for great saphenous vein incompetence and avoids the general anaesthesia and longer recovery associated with traditional surgery. The all-in price of 21,000 Kč includes the surgery, dressings, and post-operative follow-up.
