Transformational features of the vein wall during a long-term period of endovenous laser ablation using 1910 nm laser radiation. Results of in-vivo experiments.

The connective-tissue transformation of the coagulated vein occurs in a long-term period and more pronounced for higher LEED. However, features of vein hemodynamics of animals and differences between the clot formation process of human varicose veins and healthy animal veins lead to incomplete occlusion. These features should be taken into account during extrapolation results of experiments on animals in clinical practice.
