Cyanoacrylate Closure (Glue)
Modern medical-grade glue is used to seal the affected vein from within — no heat, no compression stockings needed, with very fast recovery and excellent long-term results.
What is Cyanoacrylate Closure (Glue)?
Cyanoacrylate Closure (medical glue) is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins where a specialised medical-grade glue is delivered through a thin catheter to seal the diseased vein from inside. Unlike heat-based techniques (EVLA, RFA), this method does not require tumescent anaesthesia along the vein course, often does not need compression stockings afterwards, and offers a remarkably comfortable patient experience. Dr. Tejasree Vengala performs cyanoacrylate vein closure at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, for selected patients with truncal varicose veins.
How the Procedure Works
Ultrasound Mapping & Local Anaesthesia
The diseased veins are mapped using Doppler ultrasound. Local anaesthesia is given only at the catheter entry point.
Catheter Insertion
A thin catheter is gently advanced into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance through a single small puncture.
Glue Delivery
Small, controlled doses of medical-grade cyanoacrylate glue are delivered along the vein, sealing it from inside in segments.
Manual Compression
Brief manual compression is applied during glue delivery to ensure complete vein closure.
Discharge & Quick Return
Patients walk immediately, are discharged within 30–60 minutes, and most return to normal activity the same day.

Cyanoacrylate Closure (Glue) Cost in Hyderabad
The cost of cyanoacrylate closure (vein glue treatment) in Hyderabad depends on the extent of venous disease, number of veins treated, severity of varicose veins, specialised device requirements, investigations required, and the care needed before and after the procedure.
For patients requiring minimally invasive closure of affected veins using medical adhesive (cyanoacrylate glue), the approximate cost ranges between ₹1,50,000 and ₹2,80,000.
| Procedure | Approximate Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Cyanoacrylate Closure (Glue) | ₹1,50,000 – ₹2,80,000 |
The final cost may vary depending on your individual condition, findings during evaluation, number of veins requiring treatment, catheter and glue requirements, and whether any additional procedures are required.
Factors That Influence Cyanoacrylate Closure (Glue) Cost
The overall cost may depend on:
- →
Severity of varicose veins: The extent of venous reflux, size and number of affected veins, and associated symptoms may influence treatment planning and procedure complexity.
- →
Pre-procedure evaluation: Required clinical examination, venous Doppler ultrasound, blood tests, and medical assessments before the procedure may affect the overall cost.
- →
Device and material requirements: The specialised cyanoacrylate adhesive system and catheter used during the procedure may influence the procedure cost.
- →
Number of veins treated: Treating multiple veins or more extensive venous disease may increase the overall cost.
- →
Additional procedures: If treatments such as phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, or management of associated venous complications are required along with glue closure, the cost may vary.
- →
Post-procedure care: Medicines, compression guidance, activity recommendations, and follow-up visits may influence the final estimate.
