Objective: Scarce information is available on the long-term results of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for great saphenous vein (GSV) or small saphenous vein (SSV) insufficiency. We sought to provide data on the status of patients at least 9 years after EVLA.
Methods: In 2018, we undertook a cross-sectional survey of ambulatory patients who had undergone EVLA in our tertiary care center in 2008-2009.

Objective: Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of great (GSV) and small saphenous vein (SSV) chronic insufficiency with 1470-nm diode laser and radial fiber yields good short-term results. The aim of this study was to assess its efficacy after at least 12 months of follow-up.
Methods: We performed a prospective interventional cohort study in an ambulatory care/day surgery setting.

Objective: Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency of the great saphenous veins by endovenous laser ablation yields good short- and medium-term results, as assessed clinically and technically by echo-color-Doppler. At present, scarce data are available on the long-term results of endovenous laser ablation. We wanted to assess the long-term efficacy of endovenous laser ablation.
