Overview
1 / 11
Kim Byoung Joon LEDAS Varicose Vein Clinic (김병준 레다스 흉부외과) is a thoracic surgery clinic in Seomyeon, central Busan, devoted exclusively to the treatment of varicose veins and venous disease. Founded in 2004 by Dr. Kim Byoung Joon, a board-certified cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, the clinic has spent more than 22 years mastering a single field — performing over 28,970 varicose vein surgeries for a cumulative 46,000+ patients.
The clinic specializes in minimally invasive, non-incision techniques, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, a dedicated revision-surgery clinic for recurrent cases, and a venous pain clinic. Care extends beyond the procedure itself through long-term post-treatment monitoring aimed at a zero-recurrence outcome.
LEDAS holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, KAHF certification for foreign-patient care, and Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA), and actively treats international patients with an English-language service track.
Our Core Values
A Single-Field Specialist
For over 22 years the clinic has treated nothing but varicose veins and venous disease. This deliberate focus — rather than spreading across many services — has produced more than 28,970 surgeries and a depth of expertise rarely found in a single field.
Minimally Invasive, Non-Incision
Core treatments use minimally invasive, non-incision methods and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, reducing scarring and downtime so patients can return to daily life quickly.
Long-Term Recurrence Management
Treatment does not end in the operating room. A dedicated revision clinic and structured long-term follow-up pursue a zero-recurrence goal, with a venous pain clinic for ongoing symptom care.
International Accreditation
JCI, KAHF and GHA accreditations reflect adherence to international patient-safety standards, supported by a foreign-patient-oriented environment and English-language services.
