This study measured the prevalence of chronic venous disease (CVD, C1-C6), insufficiency (C3-C6) in 23 countries. The possible influence risk factors was assessed. Patient recruitment carried out by general practitioners. characteristics, factors, and C-classification were recorded. We assessed differences between Asia (A), Eastern Europe (EE), Latin America (LA), Western (WE). A total 99 359 patients included. CVD (51.9% A, 70.18% EE, 68.11% LA, 61.65% WE) significantly ( P < .001) lower A....
The destruction induced during endovenous laser treatment (ELT) of the saphenous vein and perivenous tissue in an animal model (goats) was analysed. Differences wall produced by two types, 980 1500 nm diode lasers, were evaluated histologically.In 14 goats, 28 lateral veins treated with ELT. In we used remnant a laser. Postoperatively removed at different stages sent for histological examination.Immediately after ELT show uneven wall. Veins harvested one week postoperatively inflammatory...
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the minimally invasive endovenous laser technique for treatment primary varicose veins with conventional stripping operation in terms short-term recovery and cost economically active patients. Methods: One hundred sixty four patients caused by great saphenous vein insufficiency were assigned obliteration procedure ( n = 80, 118 legs) or 84, 124 legs). Postoperative morbidity, need analgesics duration sick leave recorded. comparison costs...
The aim of this study was to report the results high-energy endovenous laser treatment measure relationship between fluence and outcome in terms recanalization. In 97 patients, 129 great saphenous veins were treated with treatment, using a 980-nm diode laser. Follow-up visits done at 3 days, 1 month, 6 months. best noted month postoperative, but months, control late recanalizations occurred decreasing occlusion rate 90.6%. Patients divided into 2 groups according (occlusion or...
The aim of this study is to measure the incidence symptoms in patients with chronic venous disease (CVD) and look for influence age on severity both genders.A survey was carried out Belgium Luxembourg between May September 2013. Patient recruitment done by 406 general practitioners (GPs). Each GP screened 10-20 consecutive older than 18 years. Inquiries were made regarding presence possible signs CVD. Patients diagnosed CVD filled a questionnaire including quality life score (CIVIQ-14)....
The treatment of chronic venous disease, has largely shifted from high ligation and stripping to endovenous thermal ablation (EVTA) techniques, because its comparable efficacy lack invasiveness. This clinical trial aimed compare the two laser (EVLA) 1470-nm with Tulip-TipTM fiber radiofrequency (RFA) ClosureFastTM using a non-inferiority design for occlusion rate (primary outcome).A prospective multicenter randomized 280 patients great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux. Primary outcome was GSV...
