About

Lower-limb varicose veins (VVs) are the most common of vascular diseases and affect up to one-third of the population, severely affecting the quality of life (QoL) of patients. In past decades, traditional surgical ligation and stripping were the gold standard therapy for patients with VVs; however, traditional methods have demonstrated high complication and recurrence rates. Thus, the practices are moving toward minimally invasive alternatives.

Full description

Lower-limb varicose veins (VVs) are the most common of vascular diseases and affect up to one-third of the population, severely affecting the quality of life (QoL) of patients. In past decades, traditional surgical ligation and stripping were the gold standard therapy for patients with VVs; however, traditional methods have demonstrated high complication and recurrence rates. Thus, the practices are moving toward minimally invasive alternatives. Endo venous thermal ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation and endo venous laser ablation (EVLA), has become the recommended first-line treatment for VVs worldwide. These endo venous procedures provide a quicker recovery time and improved QoL and produce fewer complications than traditional surgery .Endo venous microwaves ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in treatment of V.V, investigators confirmed that endo venous microwave ablation (EMA) was an effective new technique for the treatment of VVs. On previous trials confirmed that the endo venous microwave ablation procedure demonstrated a shorter procedure time, lower complication, and local recurrence than the endo venous laser ablation procedure. The aim of the study was to determine whether endo venous microwave ablation of varicose vein was associated with better effectiveness and less complications and evaluate the outcome of patients who underwent endo venous microwave ablation (EMA).
