It is said that with Sclerotherapy there is a high Risk of having a Stroke / DVT, both around the time of treatment? and anytime after even years after if the veins started to re-open they could send some clotted blood that could circulate and block a small artery? What are the chances for this risk? Or how often does this happen?
