University Hospital offers the latest minimally invasive treatment options for varicose veins and a strong focus on evidence-based vascular care. 1842 in Basel, Switzerland, the hospital is certified by SAC and operates 773 beds for local and international patients.

People have varicose veins when the valves in their veins do not function properly, preventing blood from flowing normally and causing the veins to expand. Treatments may include compression, sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, or removal of the veins based on the severity of the condition. The physician investigates the patient's history and circulation with ultrasound before preparing the treatment plan.
