Post-saphenous vein ablation compression therapy practices: a study among members of the Brazilian society of angiology and vascular surgery.
J Vasc Bras
February 2025
Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina - UFSC, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil.
Background: Despite considerable study, there is still no consensus defining the ideal compression regimen after ablation of the great saphenous vein with radio frequency or endolaser.
Objective: To identify the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery members' current compression therapy practices after ablation of the great saphenous vein.
Methods: A multiple-choice electronic questionnaire on post-endovenous ablation compression was developed and made available on-line to Brazilian vascular surgeons for 60 days.
Chronic venous disease of the lower limbs is a highly prevalent pathology and endovenous thermoablation is the technique of choice for treatment of insufficient saphenous veins. However, there is still controversy about the best management for varicose tributaries. This article reports a case of outpatient treatment of reflux of the small saphenous vein and tributary veins in a 52-year-old female patient with post-thrombotic syndrome complaining of pain and edema in the right lower limb.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a standardized surgical technique for endoresection of uveal melanoma (UM) that aims to reduce the risk of serious complications, like fatal gas embolism.
- The procedure was conducted on ten patients after proton beam radiotherapy and involved careful methods such as cauterizing vortex veins, vitrectomy, and using specialized fluids to stabilize the retina.
- Results showed successful endoresection in all cases with no intraoperative complications, and follow-up indicated no signs of local recurrence or additional complications for the majority of patients.
Endovenous laser ablation for saphenous veins and tributaries - the LEST technique.

September 2024
Universidade Federal do Paraná - UFPR, Hospital de Clínicas, Curitiba, PR, Brasil.
Endovenous thermal ablation is now one of the most important techniques for treating chronic venous insufficiency. Technical refinements and technological innovations have made it possible to employ the method not only in the saphenous veins, but also to treat superficial veins such as varicose tributaries. We describe a technique for surgical treatment of varicose veins using endovenous laser thermal ablation employing multiple punctures and present the experience at our service with analysis of 601 cases operated using this technique.

J Vasc Bras
July 2023
Universidade Estadual de Maringá - UEM, Maringá, PR, Brasil.
Background: Use of endolaser for chronic venous disease involves choosing the laser wavelength and optical fiber to use and the quantity of energy to be administered. Efficacy is assessed by the venous occlusion rate and safety is evaluated in terms of side effects.
Objectives: To determine the incidence of total post-endolaser saphenous vein occlusion at 1-year follow-up.
