Corrective surgery for vein leak?

[Dr. Jekyll]

Not sure where to post this but since I am on injections I figured I'd post it here.

I was reading on the web and came across a short article that didn't mention any specifics other than to say that there is surgery that is sometimes done to correct venous leak. Has anyone heard of this? If it is available I would think it would be a great thing for anyone who is a candidate. Not sure what would make one a good candidate, or how effective it is (if indeed it exists), but thought I'd post the idea and see if it is something any of you have heard of?

Very cursory research leads me to think that the procedure doesn't have a very good success rate and good results are temporary.

Thanks for the heads-up on how to search for it. I didn't know the correct search term to use.
Yikes! That is some scary results! I am glad I have the resources of the members here. It sounded like a good solution of the face of it, but turns out to be not the case. Again, thanks.
