Catheter-directed Foam Sclerotherapy With Tumescence of the Great Saphenous Vein Versus Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy: Randomised Controlled Trial
Abstract
Foam sclerotherapy has been established as another option of treatment for varicose veins of the lower limbs. Its advantages are the application to patients with high surgical risk and immediate return to usual activities. Comparing to laser and radiofrequency, it has lower cost and is less painful. Nevertheless, it requires more re-interventions due to venous recanalization.
Conditions: Varicose Vein of Lower Limbs.
Primary outcome: Great Saphenous Vein Occlusion Rate.
Enrollment: 50 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 50 participants or records.
