Article Synopsis
- - The review aimed to summarize evidence comparing two treatment methods for venous insufficiency: combined saphenous vein ablation with phlebectomy versus staged phlebectomy after ablation.
- - A thorough literature search identified eight relevant clinical studies, including three randomized studies, that compared these two approaches.
- - Findings suggest that using the combined treatment approach generally leads to better short-term and at least equal long-term patient outcomes for those with saphenous incompetence and varicosities.
