infiltrated along the length of the vein<br />

under US guidance;<br />

Segmental RFA, the first segment was<br />

treated with 2 RFA cycles, and the<br />

remainder of the vein was treated with<br />

one RFA cycle per 7-cm segment.<br />

Extrinsic pressure was applied over<br />

the vein during treatment cycles;<br />

EVLA: the laser was continually<br />

withdrawn delivering energy >60 J/cm<br />

to the vein wall, with a power s<strong>et</strong>ting<br />

of 11 W. Patients with varicosities<br />

were treated with concomitant<br />

phlebectomies using a standard<br />

technique (Oesch hook) and all<br />

phlebectomy sites were sutured with<br />

6/0 polypropylene.Tumescent<br />

anaesthesia was not used for<br />

phlebectomy incisions.<br />

Both groups: a single SC prophylactic<br />

dose of low molecular weight heparin<br />

at the time of intervention; operations<br />

under general anaesthesia;<br />

phlebectomy hooks used with<br />

simultaneous avulsion of varicosities<br />

that had been marked before<br />

operation;<br />

RFA: With the patient in the reverse<br />

Trendelenburg position,the GSV was<br />

accessed percutaneously by the<br />

Seldinger technique and a 6- or 8-Fr<br />

FAST-CATHTM Haemostasis<br />

Introducer inserted; the VNUSClosure<br />

PLUS intravascular cath<strong>et</strong>er with<br />

bipolar electro<strong>des</strong> was introduced<br />

through the sheath and positioned in<br />

the GSV with its tip just below the<br />

entry of the superficial epigastric<br />

vein.The targ<strong>et</strong> temperature was s<strong>et</strong> at<br />

85°C. The ablation was commenced<br />

1 and 5<br />

weeks after<br />

treatment<br />

Results-efficacy<br />
