Effect of the Diameter, Reflux Time, and Peak Reflux Velocity of Saphenous Vein on Stump Length after Cyanoacrylate Embolization

Introduction - Cyanoacrylate embolization (CAE) for varicose veins has recently been introdued for treatment of the incompetent saphenous vein. Although the preliminary studies have been limited to moderate-sized great saphenous veins, larger diameter of the saphenous vein up to 20mm has been included in some report. The purpose of our study is to investigate the correlation between the stump length and preoperative duplex parameters including the diameter, reflux time (RT), and peak reflux velocity (PRV) of the saphenous vein after CAE.
