Summary

This study is testing whether a device called Sonablate can safely use high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat chronic vein problems like varicose veins, leg ulcers, and certain vein malformations. The treatment is non-invasive, meaning no cuts, needles, or catheters are used. The study involves 30 adults with vein issues in their legs, abdomen, chest, or back, and will monitor for side effects like burns, pain, or nerve injury over 4 weeks.
