Endovenous surgery in the treatment of varicose veins generally consists of laser or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as endovenous thermal ablation (ETA) with a phlebectomy or foam sclerotherapy of tributary varicose veins to improve symptomatic or cosmetic problems. Nevertheless, the efficacy of their concomitant treatments is still controversial for a decade. In the guidelines of the Japanese Society of Phlebology, concomitant phlebectomy of tributary varicose veins with ETA is described that it is not recommended officially.

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
  • Varicose veins should be understood as part of the larger issue of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), prompting the MEVeC project to enhance assessment methods and standardize treatment evaluations across practitioners.
  • The study evaluated surgical vs. laser treatment in patients with specific varicose vein conditions, using ultrasound Doppler to examine outcomes after interventions.
  • Results showed lower reflux rates in the surgical group compared to the laser group, highlighting the need for ongoing standardization and understanding of treatment efficacy in managing CVI.

Chronic venous disease has a major impact on the quality of life of millions of patients. Large randomized controlled trials have established ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) as a safe and effective treatment option for both saphenous vein insufficiency and tributary disease. Ultrasound guidance is a critical component of sclerotherapy of non-visible veins.

A prospective cohort study aimed to determine factors which influence the progression of chronic venous disease (CVD) in an attempt to aid in the early identification of those at patients who are likely to benefit from early intervention. A prospective cohort study of patients referred to tertiary vascular services with varicose veins over 7 years was conducted. The primary outcome measure was the rate of disease progression from time of referral to time of consultation.
