SummaryTo evaluate and compare the fiveyear outcome after treatment of a varicose GSV by endovenous thermal laser ablation (EVLA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).In this non-randomized, prospective study, patients treated in 2007 and 2008 for complete varicosis of the GSV (CEAP: C2–C6) were divided according to the treatment technique used into three groups: RFA (VNUS ClosureFast™), EVLA 980 nm (ELVeS 980™) and EVLA 1470 nm (ELVeS 1470™). Ultrasound-guided follow-up consultations were conducted 3 days, 3 months, 1 year and 5 years after treatment.589 patients with 643 GSVs (223 RFA, 185 EVLA 980, 235 EVLA 1470) were treated under tumescent local anaesthesia. No major complications occurred and minor complications were rare (4.7–12.2 %, p=0.135).66 % (RFA), 15 % (EVLA 980) and 32 % (EVLA 1470) of the patients were pain-free without post-operative analgesics. After 5 years, 86 % (RFA), 90 % (EVLA 980) and 93 % (EVLA 1470) of the veins were occluded (p=0.096). Ultrasound imaging revealed reflux in treated GSVs in 5–8 % of cases (p=0.73). A second ablation of the previously treated GSV was required in 5 % (RFA), 2 % (EVLA 980) and 2 % (EVLA 1470) of the patients (p=0.28).Endoluminal thermal ablation is an easy, safe and well tolerated method for the treatment of varicosis. Radiofrequency ablation is less painful than EVLA. RFA and EVLA 1470 are equally effective for vein closure.

Summary Background: Radiofrequency powered segmental thermal ablation Closure FAST has become a globally engaged technology for ablation of incompetent great saphenous veins (GSVs). Mid-term results of slowly resolving side effects are still not described. Methods: RSTA-treated GSVs (n = 295) were followed for 24 months in a prospective multicenter trial. Clinical control visits included flow and reflux analysis by duplex-ultrasound and assessment of treatment related side effects at all times. Results: 280 of 295 treated GSVs (94.9%) were available for 24 months follow-up. According to the method of Kaplan and Meier at 24 months after the intervention 98.6% of treated legs remained free of clinically relevant axial reflux. The average VCSS score improved from 3.9 ± 2.1 at screening to 0.7 ± 1.2 at 24 months follow-up (p < 0.0001). While only 41.1% of patients were free of pain before treatment, at 24 months 99.3% reported no pain and 96.4% did not experience pain during the 12 months before. At 24 months n=3 legs showed pigmentation along the inner thigh and one leg showed study-treatment related paresthesia. Conclusion: Radiofrequency powered segmental thermal ablation Closure FAST showed a very moderate side-effect profile in conjunction with a high and durable clinical success rate.

Recommendation Grade

The American College of Phlebology Guidelines Committee performed a systematic review of the literature regarding the clinical impact and treatment of incompetent accessory saphenous veins. Using an accepted process for guideline developments, we developed a consensus opinion that patients with symptomatic incompetence of the accessory great saphenous veins (anterior and posterior accessory saphenous veins) be treated with endovenous thermal ablation (laser or radiofrequency) or ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy to eliminate symptomatology (Recommendation Grade 1C).
