Abstract

Background: This study aims to compare 980 nm wavelengthendovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and VNUS ClosureFastradiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods: Between November 2012 and May 2014,178 symptomatic patients with unilateral or bilateral varicoseveins were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were dividedinto two groups according to the treatment method applied. Over- knee EVLA was performed in 114 extremities of 99 patients(56 females, 43 males; mean age: 48 years; range 20 to 76 years),while 79 patients (47 females, 32 males; mean age: 45 years;range 18 to 72 years) underwent unilateral RFA. Only patientswith insufficiencies on vena saphena magna (VSM) or on itsbranches and patients with a minimum VSM diameter of 4 mmat knee level and 7 mm on sapheno-femoral junction measuredwith colored Doppler ultrasound (US) were included in the study.After both procedures, the clinical signs and Doppler US resultsof patients at one year during follow-up were compared. Results: Based on Doppler US results, partial closure wasidentified in 4% of EVLA patients and in 1.25% of RFA patients.Burning sensation was less common in RFA patients. Amongpatients in whom the technique was successful, the presenceof burning sensation, presence of at least one of the burningsensation or ecchymosis or presence of at least one of the burningsensation, ecchymosis, or pain was statistically significantlylower in RFA patients. Among all patients, 83% had burningsensation due to technical failure and this result was statisticallysignificant. Conclusion: Our study results show that RFA is superior toEVLA method thanks to its high closure rate of VSM and lessburning sensation.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 980 nm dalga boyunda EVLA (Endovenözlazer ablasyon) yöntemi ile VNUS ClosureFast RFA(Radyofrekans ablasyon) karşılaştırıldı. Ça­lış­ma­pla­nı:­Kasım 2012 - Mayıs 2014 tarihleri arasında tektaraflı ya da iki taraflı variköz venleri olan 178 semptomatikhasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar uygulanantedavi yöntemine göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Doksan dokuzhastanın (56 kadın, 43 erkek; ort. yaş 48 yıl; dağılım 20-76yıl) 114 ekstremitesine dizüstü EVLA, 79 hastaya (47 kadın,32 erkek; ort. yaş 45 yıl; dağılım 18-72 yıl) ise tek taraflıRFA uygulandı. Çalışmaya yalnızca vena safena magna(VSM) ve dallarında yetersizlik olan ve renkli Dopplerultrasonografi (USG)de VSM çapı diz seviyesinde en az4 mm, safenofemoral bileşke düzeyinde ise en az 7 mmolan hastalar alındı. Her iki işlem sonrası hastaların klinikbulgu ve semptomları ile bir yıllık Doppler USG sonuçlarıkarşılaştırıldı. Bul gu lar: Doppler USG sonuçlarına göre, kısmi kapanma,EVLA yapılan hastalarda %4, RFA yapılan hastalarda %1.25olarak saptandı. Yanma hissi, RFA uygulanan grupta dahaazdı. Tekniğin başarılı olduğu hastalarda yanma hissi, yanmahissi veya ekimozdan en az biri ve yanma hissi, ekimoz veağrı hissinden en az birinin olması RFA yapılan hastalardaistatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda düşük bulundu. Tümhastalarda tekniğin başarısız olması nedeniyle %83 oranındayanma hissi görüldü ve bu sonuç istatistiksel olarak anlamlıbulundu. So nuç: Çalışma bulgularımız VSMnin kapanma oranınınyüksek olması ve yanma hissinin daha az görülmesi nedeniyle,RFAnın EVLA yönteminden üstün olduğunu göstermektedir.
