Endovenous laser therapy with echosclerotherapy as a hybrid method for chronic venous insufficiency: experience in 200 patients and literature review

CONCLUSIONS: A high efficiency of 98% was observed (196/200 patients) at the 12-month follow-up after hybrid EVLA with UGFS treatment. Follow-up UGFS at four weeks after laser ablation showed 99% efficacy at the 12-month postoperative follow-up. Major complications after the hybrid method treatment combining EVLA with UGFS were not observed. Hybrid methods are more effective (98-99%) and give a lower chance of relapse.PMID:34982439 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202112_27624
