[Genesis of great saphenous vein obliteration and its clinical manifestations after endovenous laser coagulation combined with crossectomy during the varicose vein treatment].

An analysis of results of the endovenous laser coagulation combined with crossectomy was made in 170 patients with varicose veins of lower extremities (C(VI), C(II)-C(V)). Clinical and ultrasonic data were investigated during a period of 3-5 days (45 lower extremities) and followed up in 1-3 years after operation (194 lower extremities). Three years later the absence of reflux was observed in 95.

[Features of using endovascular laser coagulation in complex treatment of varicose disease].

The investigation was performed in 41 patients who were given laser coagulation of the subcutaneous vein trunks. The technique of laser coagulation as a stage of combined phlebectomy and the results of morphological investigation of the venous wall after laser coagulation depending on the parameters of coagulation are described. An analysis of the nearest and long-term results of the treatment using clinical and ultrasonic methods of investigation suggests that it is possible to use laser coagulation of the subcutaneous veins in patients with symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency of the II-V stages by CEAP classification.
