[Use of a domestic hydrogel as an occlusive agent of varicose veins of the lower limbs].

The authors propose experimental grounds of the method of surgical correction of the pathological blood flow along varicose subcutaneous veins and the endovasal catheter obliteration of them. The method was used in operations on 70 patients with varicosities of the lower extremity veins at the I and II stages of the disease. No complications or recurrences were noted in the following 1-3 years of observation.
