A prospective observational cohort study of concomitant versus sequential phlebectomy for tributary varicosities following axial mechanochemical ablation.

CONCLUSION: Concomitant treatment of tributary varicosities following MOCA improves quality of life and clinical severity, while reducing rates of re-intervention and post-operative thrombophlebitis compared to sequential treatment. The penalty is a modest increase in procedural duration and discomfort. Further evidence from longer-term follow-up is needed. PMID: 30864464 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
