ClosureFast endovenous radiofrequency ablation for great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein incompetence. Efficacy and anatomical failure patterns.

Conclusion Disease progression was twice as high as the recanalization rate at three years post-treatment using ERFA in this study. Raised body mass index may be a contributing factor; however, further longitudinal studies are required. Patient self-selection bias may have also influenced our results.
