✦ Synopsis

Three separate laser modalities were investigated in the treatment of superficial varicosities/telangiectasias of the lower extremities. Sixteen patients were treated and followed for 12 months. The superpulse CO2, the pulsed focally specific CO2, and the Nd:YAG laser transmitted through a diffusing sapphire tip were able to produce cosmetically satisfactory permanent obliteration of vessels after a 12-month follow-up interval. These results were a significant improvement over six-month results indicating a long fading time for laser treatment of leg veins.

The incidence of valves in the major veins of the lower extremities of Africans and Caucasians was studied. Valves are absent in the inferior vena cava in both races. In the common iliac veins, 1-7% of Caucasians and 1% of Africans have rudimentary valves. Normal valves exist in the following veins
