Treatment of the incompetent great saphenous vein by endovenous radiofrequency powered segmental thermal ablation: first clinical experience.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation of saphenous veins has proven efficacy with an excellent side effect profile but has the disadvantage of a lengthy pullback procedure. This article reports a new endovenous catheter for radiofrequency-powered segmental thermal ablation (RSTA) of incompetent great saphenous veins (GSVs). METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter study was conducted to...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of endovenous radiofrequency obliteration of the great saphenous vein in primary varicosis.
PURPOSE To compare radiofrequency obliteration (RFO) and conventional surgery with respect to postoperative complications, effectiveness of treatment, and quality of life (QoL). METHODS Several healthcare databases were interrogated to identify all studies published between 1994 and 2007 comparing RFO in primary varicosis to conventional therapy with vein ligation and stripping.

The anatomical variations are more frequently encountered in the venous system particularly in the superficial veins when compared to the arterial system. The great saphenous vein is the longest vein of the body and represents preaxial vein of lower limb. The venous anatomy is of great importance to the surgeons and sonographers. The present study included 25 lower limbs during routine dissecti...
متن کاملEndovenous radiofrequency ablation (venefit procedure): impact of different energy rates on great saphenous vein shrinkage.
BACKGROUND Despite adequate treatment of varicose veins, recurrences and primary failures still occur. This article hypothesizes that increasing the dose of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) could improve efficacy through inducing a greater shrinkage of the treated vein. METHODS A comparative clinical study of 67 extremities with varicose veins caused by great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux treated ...
متن کاملShort Term Fate of Great Saphenous Vein after Radiofrequency Ablation for Varicose Veins.
Background Radiofrequency ablation of varicose vein have gained popularity compared to conventional surgery due to comparable long term results in addition to definite immediate superiorities. This modality has been started in Nepal since August 2003 and the study on short term fate of ablated vein segment confirms the anatomical benefit in addition to the clinical benefit. Objective To analyze...
