Had the procedure done September 22nd/20216 and about 6 weeks ago developed a half of a golfball lump near the top of my leg and behind my knee(smaller lump) the top one went into a huge tit like looking thing and then erupted and looked like a gun shot wound for weeks...thankfully I was off work for the holidays...No support! The surgeon that performed the procedure retired on New Years Day....Do NOT recommend!

As a doctor who has performed venaseal on 70ish patients so far that is an unusual result!! Did you have an infection? Did you get treated with antibiotics? Can you give me any more information?

I had the venaseal procedure and developed serratia marcescens at the injection/cath site. I am 68 years old and sorry I had the procedure for sure. I also got a black and blue mark behind my knee.

Had the procedure done Oct. 2018 both legs same problems as described above. Irruptions along veins half golf ball size lumps then developing into lesions. Lumps at knees causing problems walking. Nine months latter still have the problem. Medtronic "It's not our fault". Has anyone sued?
