Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation  treatment in chronic great saphenous vein insufficiency. Subjects and Methods: an intervention study without a control group included of 50 patients (68 limbs) were diagnosed with chronic great saphenous vein insufficiency treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and one-month and three – months follow-up. Results: evaluation after 1 month and 3 months of treatment showed the effectiveness and high success rate of RFA treatment. The clinically, 100% of functional symptoms improved (completely resolved or reduced severity of symptoms); clinical classification (C) in the CEAP classification, and venous clinical severity score (VCSS) were statistically significant. In terms of anatomy and hemodynamics, 100% of the treated veins were completely closed, and there was no flow in the vessel. There were no cases of failure. During and after treatment, there were only some mild side effects such as pain when needle puncture (98.5%), bruising on skin (44,1%), hyperpigmentation (4.4%). There were not severe complications after intervention. Conclusions: radiofrequency ablation treatment is a minimally invasive procedure, safe, highly effective, and should be widely used in the treatment of chronic great saphenous veins insufficiency.
