What is an Ambulatory Phlebectomy?
Varicose veins lie just beneath the surface of the leg, unlike deep vein problems. A Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure using a specialty hook to gently remove the varicose veins manually that are not too deep under the skin. Phlebectomy of varicose veins is extremely successful when performed on patients who are a good fit for the procedure.
Ambulatory phlebotomy is a method of removing large, bulging varicosities. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia administered in the doctor’s office. There is rarely any pain reported by patients. This is because of the local anesthesia that is used. Patients remain asleep throughout the entire procedure. The incisions that are made throughout the procedure are so small that they usually don’t even require stitches. They heal naturally with a little bit of dressing to protect them.
Your leg will be wrapped up in a gauze or compression wrap to keep everything together and protected during healing. You need to wear a graduated compression stocking after the procedure. This usually needs to be kept on for two to three weeks from your procedure. As long as you are wearing these stockings, you can resume normal activity the day after surgery. You will be able to resume daily activity just 24 hours after the procedure most of the time. Ask your doctor if they do not let you know specifically or mention this might not be the case.

San Diego Phlebectomy Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Phlebectomy procedure?
Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small scalpel or needle to remove varicose veins that lie just beneath the surface of the leg.
Is vein stripping the same as Phlebectomy?
Phlebectomy is a more recently developed procedure and is less invasive when compared to vein stripping. This procedure does remove the varicose veins from the treated area, but through a minimally invasive incision.
Is Phlebectomy painful?
Patients rarely report any pain during this procedure because the area being worked on is under a local anesthetic. The incisions made during the procedure are so small that no stitches are required. A small dressing is applied to cover the incisions.
Is Phlebectomy safe?
Phlebectomy usually does not lead to complications. Possible complications include short-term skin color change, infection, pain, and tiny red spider veins.

say about us
Dr Kafri and his staff are very caring. They are also a full service office that performs almost all the tests that are necessary. I've been having a very particular problem that Dr Kafri is determined to solve. I've been coming here since 2022.
The staff is amazing. They took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable through all my procedures. Felt like the staff really cares about making sure I had the best possible experience. Thank you
Dr. Kafri and his staff are by far the best medical staff I have experienced. The front desk is always so pleasant. I would rate way more than 5 stars if I was able to. Thank you Kafri Heart and Vascular Clinic.
I had a good experience. Everyone was professional and kind. They gave me hope that I can go on hikes and walk my dog again.
I had a great experience with staff and doctor I did not have to wait a long time and the staff was very professional in doing there jobs looking forward to my next visit!
Very professional office setting and staff. As a new patient I was greeted warmly, staff proficiently checked my vitals, EKG, reviewed meds which prepared Nurse Practicioner Kim (who was great -- 5 stars) to review my prious ultrasound, and performed the cardio exam. Kim was effecient, actively listened, was a clear communicator, and addressed my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Kafri Heart Vascular Clinic.
All of the Staff at the office including Dr. Kafri are Very professional and during all of my procedures they have done everything they can to make them comfortable...Definetly incredible!..So Happy I was placed in their care for my Veins!😊...Thank you all!
All the staff were very helpful, patient, and friendly. They were also very accommodating with honoring my request to wait 5 minutes before taking my blood pressure so I could relax a bit to ensure a more accurate blood pressure reading. I REALLY appreciate that! 😊💜
I had a ball with the person who interviewed me, he has a great personality. Dr. Yoa was super and he has a great listening skill. I felt very good about his attention and responses. I left knowing, all about my future care and what's happening now. Way to go all. From the first person, to the last person I spoke with, the staff was the friendly, organized, and the doctor super, so my visit was amazing! Thank you!
