Indications to surgical treatment in varicose veins
There isn’t a consensus to the treatment of varicose veins because we don’t have randomized controlled trials [1]. Indication to the treatment is based on different criteria: etiological, clinical and diagnostic. The treatments include: conservative therapy, sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, endovenous laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and surgery involving saphenous ligation and stripping [2]....
متن کاملOverview of Endovenous Thermal Ablation of Varicose Veins
V ar ic os e V ei ns Endovenous interventions have transformed the treatment of varicose veins during the past decade. Interest in minimally invasive endovenous thermal ablation of the saphenous vein has substantially increased due to multiple reasons. Both radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) can be performed as an office procedure; they are less invasive and usual...
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial comparing endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, and surgical stripping for great saphenous varicose veins with 3-year follow-up.
INTRODUCTION This study compares the outcome 3 years after treatment of varicose veins by endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), or surgery by assessing recurrence, Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), and quality of life (QOL). METHODS A total of 500 patients (580 legs) were randomized to one of the three endovenous treatment...
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial comparing endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy and surgical stripping for great saphenous varicose veins.
BACKGROUND This randomized trial compared four treatments for varicose great saphenous veins (GSVs). METHODS Five hundred consecutive patients (580 legs) with GSV reflux were randomized to endovenous laser ablation (980 and 1470 nm, bare fibre), radiofrequency ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy or surgical stripping using tumescent local anaesthesia with light sedation. Miniphlebe...
متن کاملRandomized clinical trial of endovenous laser ablation compared with conventional surgery for great saphenous varicose veins.
BACKGROUND Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a popular minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Surgical treatment, featuring junctional ligation and inversion stripping, has shown excellent clinical and cost effectiveness. The clinical effectiveness of both treatments was compared within a randomized trial. METHODS Some 280 patients were randomized equally into groups receiving eit...
