Dr. Zierau one of the first vascular surgeons who were allowed to work by means of catheter technology in the arterial system. This was due to the special training in the Chartitè, as well as to a study visit to the Stanford University in USA. There, together with a colleague from Potsdam and a colleague from Nuernberg, he was able to study catheter technology in the vascular system for the first time - and then put it into practice. So it was obvious that from 2002 we also used the various catheter systems in the venous system. And so it was only logical that Dr. Zierau - although a passionate surgeon and vascular surgeon - consistently works with the gentlest treatment methods when it comes to removing spider veins and varicose veins. This led to an all-changing decision in 2012 - no more radical surgery on the venous system! No stripping and no phlebectomy (check mark method) With the departure from the old surgical methods, the scalpel lost importance. Important were catheter and ultrasound. Overall, the path consistently led to gentle treatments, which resulted in a faster healing through the minimal intervention. Specialist in surgery, vascular surgeon and phlebologist - specialized in diagnostics and therapy of varicose veins and venous diseases - own practice since 1997 in Berlin - since 2002 catheter-assisted treatment methods - since 2012 Praxisklinik Rostock and the consequent dedication to minimally invasive catheter-assisted and ultrasound-guided therapies. - since 2017 member of the German Society of Phlebology (venous medicine).
