Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Two Methods for Endovenous Laser Ablation of Incompetent Perforator Veins in Thigh and Great Saphenous Vein Without Evidence of Saphenofemoral Reflux

BACKGROUND

Percutaneous ablation of incompetent perforators has been introduced as a safe and efficacious alternative.



Objective

To compare two methods of treating incompetent thigh perforator and great saphenous veins (GSV).



Materials and Methods

Patients with varicose veins of CEAP C2 and C3 with incompetent perforating veins (IPVs) in the thigh without evidence of saphenofemoral reflux and with obvious venous reflux from IPVs into the GSV distal to IPVs were included. Endovenous laser ablation was done using two methods (IPV ablation (IPVA) versus GSV ablation: GSVA). Their technical success rate, clinical success rate, and complications were ...
