Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Home / Vascular Clinic / Services / Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

A minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of varicose veins, Radiofrequency Ablation, or RFA, can be performed in an office setting with local anesthesia. It uses radiofrequency energy to heat up and “ablate” (damage) the inside wall of the vein, causing scar tissue to form. The scar tissue closes off the varicose vein, and blood flow is naturally rerouted through healthy veins. Recovery from RFA is generally short, and patients will be asked to wear compression stockings for a week or more after treatment.

Attention Patients

After much consideration, we have made the decision to close the Valley Cardiology practices in Fayetteville and Lumberton. Our last day will be Friday, December 19th.

We will be able to provide prescription refills, as appropriate, through that date. Patients should have received a notification letter, which included a request for transfer of your medical records to help ensure continuity of care at your provider(s) of choice. You also have the option to print your records from our patient portal. Rest assured that all records will be retained in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.

We are sincerely grateful to our patients for trusting us with your cardiac and vascular care. It has been our pleasure to serve the Fayetteville and Lumberton communities.

If you have questions regarding your records or billing issues, you may continue to contact our staff at:
