Endovenous thermal ablation of the saphenous vein.
Endovenous saphenous vein obliteration in the form of radiofrequency or laser therapies has quickly ascended to a position of prime importance in the treatment of reflux within the superficial venous system. The technical aspects of these procedures, as well as their decreased morbidity when compared with saphenous vein stripping, make them highly appealing to both practitioners and patients al...
متن کاملEndovenous saphenous vein ablation in patients with acute isolated superficial-vein thrombosis
OBJECTIVE The possible benefits of endovenous saphenous ablation (EVSA) as initial treatment in patients presenting with isolated superficial-vein thrombosis (SVT) and saphenous vein reflux include: (1) definitive treatment of the underlying pathology and (2) elimination of the saphenous vein as a path for pulmonary emboli, which (3) may eliminate the need for anticoagulation. METHODS In a te...
متن کاملPulmonary Embolism following Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) of the Great Saphenous Vein.
A 70yr old lady presented to accident and emergency with sudden onset pleuritic chest pain. A pulmonary embolus (PE) was diagnosed by CTPA. Ten days earlier she had bilateral EVLA for recurrent great saphenous vein disease. Confounding risk factors for pulmonary embolism included bilateral ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein a year earlier, malignancy, EVLA and phlebitic tributar...
متن کاملSix-year follow-up of endovenous laser ablation for great saphenous vein incompetence.
OBJECTIVE Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the great saphenous veins by endovenous laser ablation yields good short- and medium-term results, as assessed clinically and technically by echo-color-Doppler. At present, scarce data are available on the long-term results of endovenous laser ablation. We wanted to assess the long-term efficacy of endovenous laser ablation. METHODS We pe...
متن کاملEndovenous mechanochemical ablation of great saphenous vein incompetence using the ClariVein device: a safety study.
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of endovenous mechanochemical ablation (MOCA) for the treatment of great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence. METHODS The newly developed ClariVein device uses a technique that combines mechanical endothelial damage using a rotating wire with the infusion of a liquid sclerosant. Heating of the vein and tumescent anesthesia are not required; only lo...
