Abstract

Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the small saphenous vein (SSV) and to report our mid-term follow-up results.Patients and methods: A total of 52 patients (32 males, 20 females; mean age 44.5±11.8 years; range, 31 to 71) who underwent RFA for incompetency of SSV between January 2015 and January 2017 and who were followed for maximum 33 months were included in our study. Postoperative clinical results and risk factors for SSV sural neuritis were analyzed.Results: Most of the patients were in Clinical, Etiology, Anatomy, and Pathophysiology (CEAP) clinical Class 3 (n=41, 78.8%). The mean Chronic Venous Insufficiency Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ2) score was 26.8±3.8. The mean diameter of the SSV was 6.6±1.5 mm (range 4.5 to 11 mm). The immediate occlusion rate was 100%. All patients returned to normal activity within two days. The CIVIQ2 scores improved significantly postoperatively from 26.8±3.8 to 12.0±4.2 (p=0.01). Post-ablation sural neuritis was diagnosed in two patients (3.8%). At six months, Doppler ultrasound showed partial recanalization in the proximal segment of the SSV in one patient (1.92%).Conclusion: Our study results suggest that RFA offers many potential advantages over conventional surgery for incompetent SSVs and SSV reflux. However, post-ablation sural nerve injury is a common complication after RFA of SSV, although it is usually temporary. In addition, preoperative CEAP score seems to be a potential risk factor for sural neuritis

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada küçük safen vene (KSV) radyofrekans ablasyonun (RFA) uygulanabilirliği, etkinliği ve güvenilirliği araştırıldı ve orta dönem takip sonuçlarımız sunuldu.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya Ocak 2015 - Ocak 2017 tarihleri arasında KSV yetmezliği nedeniyle RFA yapılan ve maksimum 33 ay takip edilen toplam 52 hasta (32 erkek, 20 kadın; ort. yaş 44.5±11.8 yıl; dağılım 31-71 yıl) alındı. Ameliyat sonrası klinik sonuçlar ve KSV süral nörit risk faktörleri incelendi.Bulgular: Hastaların birçoğu Klinik, Etiyoloji, Anatomi ve Patofizyoloji (CEAP) klinik sınıfı 3 olan hastalar idi (n=41, %78.8). Ortalama Kronik Venöz Yetmezlik Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (CIVIQ2) skoru 26.8±3.8 idi. Ortalama KSV çapı 6.6±1.5 mm (dağılım 4.5-11 mm) idi. İşlem anındaki kapanma oranı %100 idi. Hastaların tümü iki gün içinde normal aktivitelerine döndü. Ameliyat sonrası CIVIQ2 skorları 26.8±3.8'den 12.0±4.2'ye anlamlı düzeyde düzeldi (p=0.01). İki hastaya (%3.8) ablasyon sonrası süral nörit tanısı kondu. Altıncı ayda, bir hastada (%1.92) Doppler ultrasonda KSV'nin proksimal segmentinde parsiyel rekanalizasyon izlendi.Sonuç: Çalışma bulgularımız, RFA'nın KSV yetmezliğinde ve reflüsünde konvansiyonel cerrahiye kıyasla muhtemel avantajları olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak, ablasyon sonrası süral nörit SSV'ye RFA'nın sık görülen bir komplikasyonu olmakla birlikte, genellikle geçicidir. Bununla birlikte, ameliyat öncesi yüksek CEAP skorları, süral nöritin muhtemel bir risk faktörü olarak görünmektedir
