Surgical repair of a valve is normally just referred to as Heart Valve Surgey, although its technical name is valvoplasty or valvuloplasty. There are many ways to repair a heart valve. They can go in through the groin and blow the valve up with a balloon, or repair a torn part of the valve. They can also do open heart surgery and replace a valve completely (usually with a pig valve or a metal valve).

Phlebotomy.

In Medical and Surgical terminology a surgical incision into a vein is called venesection. Another type of vein surgery, called ambulatory phlebotomy, creates an extremely small incision in the skin by the vein. A hook is then inserted through the tiny incision and is used to remove the vein.

Laser surgery is often performed when the vein is too small to inject or remove. Light energy is sent into the vein in short bursts, slowly shriveling the vein. The vein then disappears over a small period of time. Laser surgery is very accurate and usually safe for all skin types.

One particular vein surgery that can be done inside the doctor's office and usually has a person back to their normal daily activities within one day is called entravenous laser therapy (EVLT). This process involves inserting a tiny laser fiber into the vein where it closes the vein by sending pulsating lasers through it. This treatment is sometimes used in conjunction with other vein surgeries.

The VNUS Closure, also known as radio frequency vein ablation, is an alternative treatment that can be performed on an outpatient basis. When a patient undergoes this procedures, an diagnostics ultrasound shows the doctor where to place a catheter inside the vein. Once the catheter is inside the vein, radio frequencies are used to heat the vein and shrink the walls, thus closing the vein. The blood is then rerouted through other healthy veins.
