Tumescentless endovenous radiofrequency ablation with local hypothermia and compression technique
INTRODUCTION Modern surgical management of chronic venous insufficiency is possible since the development of catheter-based minimally invasive techniques, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and the application of colour Doppler sonography. RFA technology requires the use of tumescent anaesthesia, which prolongs the operating time. Instilling tumescent anaesthesia percutaneously below the s...
متن کاملEndovenous radiofrequency ablation of superficial and perforator veins.
Radiofrequency ablation of superficial and perforator veins for venous insufficiency has emerged as a leading alternative to traditional vein stripping operations. This percutaneous technique can be performed in less than an hour using local anesthetic or sedation. The VNUS Closure catheters (VNUS Medical Technologies, San Jose, California) work by resistive heating in the vein wall that is con...
متن کاملMechanochemical tumescentless endovenous ablation: final results of the initial clinical trial
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the ClariVein(®) system that employs mechanochemical ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV). METHOD Patients eligible for ablation of the GSV underwent micropuncture access with only local anaesthesia to insert a 4 or 5 Fr sheath. The ClariVein(®) catheter was placed through the sheath, the wire was extruded, and...
متن کاملEndovenous radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of varicose veins.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is the most common vascular disease and represents a significant health care problem in the United States. Reflux of the great saphenous vein is the most common cause of this condition, whose symptoms include varicose veins, leg swelling, skin discoloration, and ulceration. The traditional treatment of this condition is saphenofemoral ligation with stripping o...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation: technique and clinical applications.
Radiofrequency ablation is the most commonly used percutaneous ablation technique and well-documented in the literature on focal therapies. It has become the image-guided ablation method of choice because of its efficacy, safety, and ease of use. Radiofrequency ablation has shown promise in treating selected solid tumors, particularly those involving the liver, kidneys, lungs, ...
