Foam sclerotherapy combined with saphenofemoral ligation procedure: long-term results

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical
effect of the foam sclerotherapy combined with saphenofemoral ligation (FS-SFL)
in a selected group of patients with varicose disease and present the long-term
results of ten-year ultrasonographic follow-up.

Methods: Sixty-five
patients with primary varicose veins due to the great saphenous vein
incompetence who had been treated with FS-SFL were retrospectively reviewed
over a period of ten years. The patients were assessed before and after the
treatment by Doppler ultrasonography and clinical examination.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.6 ± 11 years (range: 19 to 87 years), and
51 were females and 14 were males. Follow-up for all patients was ten years.
The most common complication was skin pigmentation. There were no major
complications. No recanalization of the great saphenous vein was seen in any
patient.

Conclusions: FS-SFL is a safe and effective method of treating
varicose veins. This treatment have a low rate of recanalization in their
long-term follow-up.
