I've also come across 'Thermal ablation of varicose vein by hyperheated steam' or 'obliteration' instead of ablation/sclerosis - but I'm beginning to wonder if these are (correct) translations from German ....
Peer comment(s):

neutral Lirka : the treatment is called 'sclerotherapy'; 'sclerosis' reserved for other things :)

Yes, I was wondering already if this is correct; it's a wrong translation of the German 'Sklerosierung'
agree Ellen Kraus : what about steam vein sclerosing ? instead of sclerosis

thanks, Ellen, but I think lirka is right about the 'sclerotherapy'

steam sclerotherapy

'Veroedung' is sclerotherapy, a standard term.

I found a website ( a phlebology congress to take place in 4/ 2010) where they mention this new method of sclerotherapy:

Other methods are conventional sclerotherapy [ where a liquid medicine is injected directly into the diseased varicose vein ] and foam sclerotherapy...

My dad is a phlebologist so I've had a closer look at these various methods... Steam sclerotherapy is new, though.
