About Dr. Rene Milleret
Dr. René Milleret is a renowned vascular surgeon in Europe, known for his numerous research works and scientific publications. He is an innovator in vascular surgery, having developed several modern operating methods now successfully used worldwide. The most recent of these is the Venosteam method, developed by Dr. Milleret in 2008, to address some of the limitations of traditional thermal treatments for varicose veins. Topics such as the causes and treatment of venectasia or the VNUS radiofrequency method are among the articles authored by Dr. René Milleret in the clinic’s articles section.
He is a founding member and member of the Board of Directors of the European Venous Forum. He is also a member of specialized Colleges, Societies, and Forums in the vascular field in France, the USA, and Canada:
- French Society of Phlebology
- French Society of Angiology
- French Society of Vascular Medicine
- Honorary Member of the Canadian Society of Phlebology
- American Venous Forum
- American College of Phlebology
With over 40,000 varicose vein surgeries performed exclusively by minimally invasive methods (radiofrequency, laser, and steam) in the last 15 years, Dr. Milleret is one of the leading global specialists in these techniques.
