Endovenous laser treatment of varicose veins of the legs:a report of 170 patients

Objective To assess the effects of treating varicose vein with endovenous laser treatment(EVLT). Methods 810nm wavelength diode laser machine was used to treat 170 patients with varicose veins of the legs. After treatment, leg bandage compression was used for 2 days, and then changed to elastic stockings for 6-8 weeks. Patients were examined with Doppler ultrasound at follow-up. Results Post-operative follow up(1-12 months) of EVLT in 170 patients indicated 100% rate of greater saphenous vein closure on Doppler ultrasound, and no significant complications. All of the symptoms, disappeared or were significantly improved. Conclusions The results of EVLT of varicose veins have been favorable. This minimally invasive technique appears to be safe, and results in very effective closure of great saphenous vein.
