The Authors report their experience of out-patient phlebectomy. Over a period of 5 years they have examined 186 patients (156 females, 30 males): 166 had micro- and extra-saphenic varicosities, while 20 had recurrent varices. Patients with ostium failure were excluded. Muller's out-patient phlebectomy implies an accurate mapping of varicosities, local anaesthesia, microincisions which are only exceptionally sutured. The Authors consider that an accurate elastic pressure bandage is indispensable and useful in order to improve the dynamics of the PVC and to avoid haemorrhages. Such a surgical technique bears aesthetic, economic and haemodynamic advantages.

Background: Endovascular radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Endovascular Laser Ablation (EVLA) are minimally invasive methods to safely treat symptomatic varicose veins in pediatric patients. This research aimed to review the management of pediatric patients with venous insufficiency, evaluate the outcome, and determine the efficacy, convenience, and safety of ablation procedures in an outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients seen at six locations from 2013 to 2024 was completed.

- The study analyzed malpractice claims related to nonthrombotic venous and lymphatic diseases from a database covering cases from 1984 to 2018, identifying key reasons for litigation and common specialties involved.
- A total of 144 cases were examined, with varicose veins, thoracic outlet syndrome, and other venous diseases being the most common, and vascular surgeons and general surgeons as the primary defendants.
- The most frequent claims were for post-procedure complications and lack of informed consent, resulting in injuries like skin and nerve damage, and in some cases, patient death.

Despite the fact that prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic complications are based on anticoagulant therapy in cases where there are contraindications, complications, as well as in case of inefficiency of the carried out anticoagulant therapy, installation of a cava filter is indicated. The necessity of subsequent retrieval of this device from the inferior vena cava is associated with a potential risk of the development of complications. Analysed herein is a case series concerning management of 4 patients undergoing treatment from February 2015 to March 2017.
