Abstract Background There have been tremendous changes to the treatment of varicose veins over the years. High ligation of the SFJ and stripping of the GSV have been considered as standard treatments for GSV insufficiency for more than one century and it is still adopted as the preferred method in the majority of the surgical centers. Aim of the Work To discuss the advances in the treatment of varicose veins and their advantages over traditional methods in an attempt to choose the best method of treatment with least complications and highest success rate of cure and to review the recently advanced endovenous laser ablation as a promising line of management of primary varicose veins. Patients and Methods This observational prospective was conducted on 30 patients 30 patients with varicose veins in multiple centers carrying out endovenous laser ablation.during the period from October 2017 till March 2018. Results After the EVL ablation +/- sclerotherapy, no major complications occurred, minor complication however, was quite common and included bruising (33.3%), ecchymosis (16.6%), postoperative pain (66%) that require analgesic, superficial thrombophlebitis (16.6%) and skin burn (3.3%). Conclusion EVLA is continuing to be an outstanding minimal invasive method for treatment of varicose veins with minimal complications and a very short recovery period which sounds appealing to the patients.

The Right

Endothermal heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) is a complication of endovenous thermal ablation in treatment of varicose veins. Existing classifications do not account for the length of thrombus extension floating in the deep venous system. While the risk of extension is minor, the consequences can be baleful.Aim. To report a rare clinical case of endothermal heat-induced thrombosis extension formed in spite of ongoing anticoagulant treatment in a patient with endovenous laser ablation.Results. A 39 years-old man with endovenous laser ablation of the right great saphenous vein had class 2 EHIT with 1.92 cm length on the next day after surgery. Rivaroxaban was prescribed at a dose of 15 mg 2 times a day. EHIT extension above the inguinal ligament occurred on the 15th day after surgery, despite oral anticoagulant treatment. Open thrombectomy with high ligation was ordered. Postoperative period without complications. Preoperative Caprini score was 6 (varicose veins, BMI> 25 kg/m2 , minor surgery, personal history of venous thromboembolism (VTE)).Conclusion. The reported clinical case illustrates that both the choice of treatment strategy and follow-up of patients with EHIT need to account for the combined risk of embolism with existing EHIT and potential thrombus extension with subsequent massive embolism.

Original Procedure

Objective: A critical appraisal of the original procedure of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for varicose veins. Method: Evaluation of all practical aspects of the procedure. Results: EVLA procedures are performed in a strictly ambulatory setting with tumescent local anesthesia (TLA). Technical improvements have resulted in the need for fewer incisions and re-punctures, less ecchymosis, and fewer technical failures. Administration of an appropriate amount of TLA via an infusion pump has reduced the risk of nerve injury, administration time, and pain during the procedure. Use of a 1470-nm diode laser and a radial fiber have significantly improved patient satisfaction and reduced the occurrence of complications such as pain, tightness, ecchymosis, and the need for additional procedures. Lastly, there are only a few indications left for high ligation and stripping. Conclusion: Over the past 20 years, EVLA has evolved into an effective, cost-efficient, and safe procedure that provides high patient satisfaction.
