A comparison of four different endovenous ablation techniques

Objective & Hypothesis:Background: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation techniques and the impact on the quality of life of patients.Methods: Between October 2011 and October 2012, 472 extremities of a total of 368 patients (258 females, 110 males; mean age 41.2 years; range 24 to 62 years) who were admitted to our Cardiovascular clinic and underwent endovenous ablation for symptomatic varicose veins were included in the study.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Of the patients, 1470 nm wavelength diode laser in 34.1% (n=161), 980 nm wavelength diode laser in 20.1% (n=95), radiofrequency ablation in 26.3% (n=124), and 1470 nm wavelength radial fiber laser in 26.3% (n=124) was applied.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:Radiofrequency ablation group had lesser postoperative pain and ecchymosis (n=9; n=2; p

Abstract

Background: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation techniques and the impact on the quality of life of patients.Methods: Between October 2011 and October 2012, 472 extremities of a total of 368 patients (258 females, 110 males; mean age 41.2 years; range 24 to 62 years) who were admitted to our Cardiovascular clinic and underwent endovenous ablation for symptomatic varicose veins were included in the study. Of the patients, 1470 nm wavelength diode laser in 34.1% (n=161), 980 nm wavelength diode laser in 20.1% (n=95), radiofrequency ablation in 26.3% (n=124), and 1470 nm wavelength radial fiber laser in 26.3% (n=124) was applied. These techniques were compared in terms of the postoperative complications, complete occlusion, recanalization rates, and patient comfort.Results: Any major complication such as deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and skin burn was observed in none of the patients. Postoperative pain and paresthesias were similar in the endovenous laser ablation groups. Radiofrequency ablation group had lesser postoperative pain and ecchymosis (n=9; n=2; p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada radyofrekans ablasyon ve endovenöz lazer ablasyon tekniklerinin etkinliği ve hastaların yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Çalışma planı: Ekim 2011 - Ekim 2012 tarihleri arasında, Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi kliniğimize başvuran ve semptomatik variköz venler nedeniyle endovenöz ablasyon yapılan toplam 368 hastanın (258 kadın, 110 erkek; ort. yaş 41.2 yıl; dağılım 24-62 yıl) 472 ekstremitesi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların %34.1’ine (n=161) 1470 nm dalga boyu diod lazer, %20.1’ine (n=95) 980 nm dalga boyu diod lazer, %26.3’üne (n=124) radyofrekans ablasyonu ve %26.3 (n=124) 1470 nm dalga boyu radyal fiber lazer uygulandı. Bu teknikler ameliyat sonrası komplikasyonlar, tam kapanma, tekrar akım oluşumu oranları ve hasta konforu açısından karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hiçbir hastada derin ven trombozu, pulmoner emboli, cilt yanığı gibi önemli komplikasyonlar gözlenmedi. Ameliyat sonrası ağrı ve his kaybı, endovenöz lazer ablasyon gruplarında benzerdi. Radyofrekans ablasyon grubunda ağrı ve ekimoz daha az görüldü (n=9; n=2; p
