Background: Although guidelines have established endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) as the first-line option for patients with varicose veins (VVs) in chronic Great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency, however, Chronic Vein Insufficiency (CVI) remains a significant healthcare burden. Endovenous microwave ablation (EMA) is a promising alternative. This review aims to analyze the Endovenous Microwave Ablation versus Endovenous Laser Ablation for Varicose Veins in Chronic Great Saphenous Vein Insufficiency METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies across PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and the Cochrane Library up to November 11, 2024 was searched.

Background: Baseline systemic inflammation is associated with worse long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], but the mechanisms of this association are unclear. This study aims to explore the association between pre-operative white blood cell [WBC] count and CABG graft failure.
Methods: We pooled individual patient data from two randomized clinical trials with systematic CABG graft imaging.

Phlebolith is a term that refers to round-shaped calcified thrombi commonly located in the pelvic region. The occurrence of dense, linear calcifications or phlebolith-like formations within the soft tissues of the lower extremities, particularly in the superficial femoral, greater saphenous, or popliteal veins, is rare. This study presents the case of a 73-year-old woman who was being evaluated for postmenopausal bleeding.
