TL;DR: RF thermal ablation was significantly superior to EVL as measured by a comprehensive array of postprocedural recovery and QOL parameters in a randomized prospective comparison between these two Thermal ablation modalities for closure of the GSV.
Journal ArticleDOI
First human use of cyanoacrylate adhesive for treatment of saphenous vein incompetence.
TL;DR: Endovenous delivery of CA may prove to be an alternative for the correction of saphenous incompetence and may be used without tumescent anesthesia and medical compression stockings and change in Venous Clinical Severity Scores (VCSSs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-year follow-up of first human use of cyanoacrylate adhesive for treatment of saphenous vein incompetence
Jose I. Almeida,Julian J. Javier,Edward G. Mackay,Claudia Bautista,Daniel J. Cher,Thomas M. Proebstle +5 more
TL;DR: The first human use of endovenous cyanoacrylate for closure of insufficient great saphenous veins proved to be feasible, safe and effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiofrequency Ablation and Laser Ablation in the Treatment of Varicose Veins
TL;DR: Therapy directed toward correcting superficial venous pathology is beneficial to many patients and is most frequently responsible for varicose veins of the lower extremity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanoacrylate adhesive for the closure of truncal veins: 60-day swine model results.
TL;DR: Injection of CA is feasible for closure of superficial veins in animal models and results were consistent with a chronic foreign-body-type inflammatory response.
