Third generation of laser ( & gt;1900) for endovenous thermoablation (EVLA) of varicose veins: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: The overall success rate of EVLA was high. The analysis of these studies suggests that using lower parameters (Power and linear administered energy) may have no effect on the treatment success rate. Short-term results demonstrate comparable occlusion rates respect the second-generation lasers. Instead, data suggest a low complication rates. Short-term results demonstrate comparable complications rates respect the second-generation lasers (1300-1470 nm). Randomized studies with longer follow-up are required to evaluate the EVLA 1900 nm procedure further.PMID:38199976 | DOI:10.1177/02683555241227017
