Study On The Long-Term Results Of Endovenous Laser Ablation For Treating Varicose Veins
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ANGIOLOGY(2016)
摘要
Background Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is widely performed since the early 2000s, but there are few long-term results.Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of EVLA employed for treating varicose veins of the lower limbs by duplex ultrasonographic study.Methods A total of 24 limbs of 17 patients who underwent EVLA between 2004 and 2007 were examined with duplex ultrasonographic scans. The mean follow-up period was 66.1 months.Results There were five recurrences of saphenofemoral junction reflux. The occlusion rate was 79.2% at a mean follow-up of 66.1 months. There were 14 recanalizations and 5 recurrences of the great saphenous vein. Five partial and nine total recanalizations were observed.Conclusions EVLA is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Our long-term result was acceptable, but the result was not outstanding.
