699 Church St., Suite 310 Marietta, GA. 30060 Phone (678) 384-4073 www.vascularsurgical.com		LIGATION & STRIPPING Surgery is used mostly to treat very large varicose veins. During this surgery, one or more incisions are made over the varicose veins, and the vein is tied off (ligated). If the ligation isolates a faulty valve and the vein and valves below the faulty valve are healthy, the vein may be left in place to continue circulating blood through other veins that still have valves that work properly.If several valves in the vein and the vein itself are heavily damaged, the vein (or the diseased part of the vein) is usually removed (stripped). An incision is made below the varicose vein, a flexible instrument is threaded up the vein to the first incision, and the vein is grasped and removed.
