Comparison of Zero- and Two-centimeter Distance From Sapheno-femoral Junction in Laser Ablation of Varicose Vein
Conditions: Varicose Veins, Venous Reflux, Venous Insufficiency, Venous Leg Ulcer
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years
Healthy volunteers: 1
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 800
Sponsor: Mansoura University
Location: Egypt
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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Primary symptomatic VVS (CEAP, C3-C6), sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ) incompetence, and GSV reflux from the groin to below the kneeExclusion Criteria:history of venous surgery, suspected or proven deep venous thrombosis, history of DVT, reflux of deep veins to distal limb, duplication of GSV, and patients' refusal to participate in the trial.
