A comparison between Caucasian and Asian superficial venous anatomy and reflux patterns - Implications for potential precision endovenous ablation therapy.

CONCLUSIONS: The predominantly Asian cohort from Singapore had smaller diameter truncal veins, longer segments of truncal vein reflux and present later with more advanced chronic venous insufficiency compared to their American counterparts. This information could help tailor endovenous ablation on a more individualised basis in the future. PMID: 31032714 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
