No, I've never personally encountered a situation where transfusion was needed for varicose vein treatment. Hope that helps!
Surgical or other treatments for varicose veins do not require transfusion. The procedures used to treat them do not cause large blood losses, usually do not cause symptoms in patients, so very uncommonly would require a clinical decision to transfuse.
