Abstract
Objective: This study presents the efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous laser ablation of tributary varicose veins using a slim-type radial 2-ring fiber.
Methods: One thousand consecutive patients who underwent endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of incompetent saphenous veins were included. The tributary varicose veins were punctured with a 16G venule needle and ablated with a 1470 nm laser system and a slim-type radial 2-ring fiber with a diameter of 1.27 mm. The EVLA was performed with a power of 5W and linear endovenous energy density of around 30 J/cm.
Results: Percutaneous varicose ablation was safely performed in 939 legs with an average of 5.9 times punctures per leg. No skin burn or nerve injury was observed after varicose ablation. Ultrasonography revealed complete occlusion of the treated veins 1 month after EVLA.
Conclusions: This study suggests that percutaneous varicose ablation with a slim-type radial 2-ring fiber is a safe and effective alternative to cover the weak point of ambulatory phlebectomy.
期刊介绍：
The leading scientific journal devoted entirely to venous disease, Phlebology is the official journal of several international societies devoted to the subject. It publishes the results of high quality studies and reviews on any factor that may influence the outcome of patients with venous disease. This journal provides authoritative information about all aspects of diseases of the veins including up to the minute reviews, original articles, and short reports on the latest treatment procedures and patient outcomes to help medical practitioners, allied health professionals and scientists stay up-to-date on developments.
