Comparison of Zero- and Two-centimeter Distance From Sapheno-femoral Junction in Laser Ablation of Varicose Vein
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
EVLA is used in in treating refluxing veins, commonly the GSV. The tip of catheter is usually placed 2-2.5 cm distal to the sapheno-femoral junction. This technique theoretically provides the lowest risk for endothermal heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT). In the present study we aimed to evaluate the zero-distance technique (the kissing technique) compared to 2-cm distance from SFJ valve in ablating incompetent GSV.
