Abstract

Objective: Investigating characteristics results of 1470nm laser ablation for patients with lower extremity superficial venous insufficiency in Cardiovascular Center, 103 Military Hospital from July, 2016 to August, 2020. Subjects and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done in 489 patients (689 limbs) with superficial venous insufficiency who wert treated usinhg 1470nm laser ablation. Results: mean age 58,8 ± 11,6. 317 females (63,7%), 161 males (36,3%). CEAP classification: 53.8% C2 stage, 26.3% C3, 18.6% C4. Unilateral and bilateral was respectively at 65.3% and 34.7%. Rate of great and small saphenous vein lession were respectively 92.2% and 7.8%. Preoperative VCSS and CIVIQ 20 were respectively 4.6 ± 1.8 and 54.0 ± 7.8. Treated vesel length of great and small saphenous vein were respectively 41.5 ± 8.7 and 17.6 ± 2.1 cm with linear endovenous energy density (LEED) at 67.6 J/cm and 68.5 J/cm. After treatment, rate of C1 was at 72.3%, C2 and C3 stage rate decreased significantly. postoperative VCSS and CIVIQ 20 score were respectively 1.1 ± 0.7 and 27.8 ± 3.5 lower than before treatment. Success rate was at 99,3%. No major complications occurred, bruising (25%), induration (4,1%), paresthesia (1,7%) were observed. Conclusions: Endovenous laser ablation was effective and safe method treatment for lower extremity superficial venous insufficiency.
