Regional or general anesthesia, and maybe local anesthesia are all good options.
We usually just use Local anesthesia. If you tend to get very anxious or nervous, we may give you a light sedative in pill form 30 minutes prior to the treatment.
This all depends on the surgery that is necessary. It can vary from place to place and varies depending on what procedure is needed. For full answers you should really be seen by a vascular surgeon. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
