Pre-operative Color Doppler Ultrasonography Predicts Endovenous Heat Induced Thrombosis after Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation.

CONCLUSIONS: EHIT was higher than previously reported. The dEV-SFJ was the most significant predictor for EHIT in the GSV group. A greater distance between the tip of the radiofrequency catheter and the SFJ may decrease the risk of developing this complication. PMID: 29802054 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
