Özet

Objective: Superficial venous insufficiency is a common problem associated with varicose veins which, if untreated, may progress to venous ulceration. Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a new, minimally invasive method for management of superficial venous insufficiency and varicose veins. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of 980 nm EVLA for treatment of symptomatic saphenous venous insufficiency and to present its early outcomes.
