Tying Off The Short Saphenous Vein Behind The Knee

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 37780

This procedure ties off and divides the short saphenous vein at the point where it joins a deeper vein behind the knee, in order to treat varicose veins in the leg. Cutting off this connection stops abnormal backward blood flow that contributes to vein bulging and swelling. It is typically done as a standalone procedure rather than as part of stripping out the full length of the vein.
