## Abstract ## Background This randomized trial compared four treatments for varicose great saphenous veins (GSVs). ## Methods Five hundred consecutive patients (580 legs) with GSV reflux were randomized to endovenous laser ablation (980 and 1470 nm, bare fibre), radiofrequency ablation, ultraso
## Abstract ## Background Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a popular minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Surgical treatment, featuring junctional ligation and inversion stripping, has shown excellent clinical and cost effectiveness. The clinical effectiveness of both treatments was
## Abstract ## Background This report describes the clinical effectiveness and recurrence rates from a randomized trial of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and surgery for varicose veins. ## Methods Some 280 patients were randomized equally using sealed opaque envelopes to two parallel groups: s
Background: This was the long-term follow-up of a previously reported randomized clinical trial comparing endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) with cryostripping for great saphenous varicose veins. Methods: A total of 120 patients with great saphenous varicose veins were randomized 1 : 1 to EVLA or cry
