A growing number of patients are being diagnosed with an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. The management of these lesions can be complicated, and we thought it would be helpful if we provided general answers to the most common questions our patients have about intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.

EVTA / Endovenous Thermal Ablation. Endovenous thermal ablation is a minimally invasive treatment which uses thermal energy to heat and destroy the abnormal superficial veins. Endovenous ablation is an ultrasound guided procedure that uses directed heat to close the abnormal veins. This endovascular procedure has revolutionized the treatment of varicose veins. It usually takes approximately one hour to perform and normal activities can be resumed after the procedure.
