Objective: The aim of this study was to compare anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) reflux after standard endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) vs. flush EVLA (fEVLA) of the great saphenous vein (GSV).
Methods: This was as randomised, single blind, controlled trial (Dutch Trial Register, NL5283).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Pediatric Post-COVID-19 Condition (PPCC), identify associated risk factors, and evaluate the quality of life in children based on the severity of their acute COVID-19 illness.
- A total of 579 children participated, with 260 experiencing mild COVID-19, 60 with severe disease, and 259 as a control group; results indicated that those with severe COVID-19 had a significantly higher prevalence of PPCC compared to mild cases and controls.
- Findings showed that while prevalence of PPCC decreased over time, children exhibiting PPCC had worse physical health-related quality of life and fatigue, with risk factors including prior health issues, hospitalizations, and ongoing fatigue one month post-infection.
Long-term outcomes of mechanochemical ablation using the Clarivein device for the treatment of great saphenous vein incompetence.

Objective: The short-term anatomical success rates of mechanochemical ablation using the Clarivein device (Merit Medical) in the treatment of great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence are high. However, the anatomical success rates seem to drop over time. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes of GSV treatment using the Clarivein and to assess whether specific anatomical features better correlate with clinical or quality of life (QoL)-related outcomes.

However, the use of thermal ablation requires tumescent anaesthesia and is associated with a risk of thermal damage. Mechanochemical endovenous ablation (MOCA) is a non-thermal ablation (NTA) alternative, which combines mechanical endothelial damage with the infusion of a sclerosant liquid or foam.

Methods: In this retrospective three-centre study, we used a text mining algorithm to search for patients who used NO recreationally and visited a neurologist.
