Just turned 65 and it is my understanding that as of last month, Medicare will cover the VenaSeal procedure. I hate compression stockings --- but would tolerate them if necessary. Don't have ropy varicose veins but do have spider veins, swelling ankles, mild discoloration, and significant discomfort (right GSV is 9, left 7.5). Also have issues with knee osteoarthritis, stenosis/sciatica, and previously had both hips replaced. Between EVLT and VenaSeal, which would be the optimal choice?
