Summary: This study examined factors associated with thrombus extension after mechanochemical ablation, showing a higher incidence of thrombus extension into the femoral vein compared to rates of thermal ablation. Further investigation with larger cohorts is needed to characterize the true rate of thrombus extension and identify maneuvers to prevent it.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the relationship between the length and diameter of ablated GSV segments and symptom improvement. Results showed a correlation between the length of treated GSV segments and symptom severity and improvement, while there was a poor correlation between proximal GSV diameter and symptom improvement after ablation.

Summary: This study examined the impact of body weight on the effectiveness and safety of endovenous thermal ablation (ETA) for the treatment of symptomatic varicose veins. The results showed that obese patients experienced prolonged pain and higher infection rates after ETA, but the effectiveness and safety of ETA for varicose vein treatment were independent of the patient's body weight.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate skin complications after mechanochemical ablation with the ClariVein device for incompetent great saphenous veins and found a greater risk of hyperpigmentation when treating the epifascial GSV tributary. Despite some minor differences, endovenous treatment with the ClariVein device is safe and effective.

Summary: This study compared various treatments for varicose veins in the great saphenous vein, including endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, endovenous steam ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, cyanoacrylate glue, mechanochemical ablation, and high ligation and stripping. The results showed that most methods were comparable in technical success, with endovenous laser ablation possibly having an edge.

Summary: The study found that all patients demonstrated improvement in both clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes after endovenous ablation, regardless of the size of the great saphenous vein (GSV). However, patients with a preoperative GSV size >= 5 mm experienced similar improvement in symptoms but an increased complication rate compared to those with smaller vein sizes.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility of prophylactic closure of major ascending tributaries of the great saphenous vein during EVLA treatment for varicose veins. It was found that closure of the anterior accessory saphenous vein and the highest ascending tributary were key factors for treatment success.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous high ligation (FPHL) combined with fluoroscopy-guided foam sclerotherapy (FGFS) for the treatment of varicose veins of the great saphenous veins (GSVs). The results showed a 92% occlusion rate and improvement in clinical symptoms within 1 year with this minimally-invasive procedure, indicating its safety and effectiveness.

Summary: The study focused on the increase of reflux volume (RV) in the great saphenous vein (GSV) from the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) to the knee level. The observed RV was a combination of flow in all GSV tributaries and potentially incompetent flow via the SFJ.

Summary: This study found that the acceleration of blood flow during venous reflux exceeded gravitational acceleration, suggesting the presence of an additional nongravitational force. Physical models demonstrated a significant difference in acceleration between free-fall flow and suction flow.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the short-term outcomes of catheter-based foam sclerotherapy (CFS) and direct foam sclerotherapy (DFS) when combined with high ligation (HL) for the treatment of great saphenous vein incompetence. The results showed that both modalities resulted in similar clinical and quality-of-life improvements.

Summary: A study comparing various treatments for great saphenous vein reflux found that mechanochemical ablation and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy had higher rates of long-term anatomical failure. Cyanoacrylate closure ranked high in terms of anatomical failure outcomes.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of polidocanol for mechanochemical ablation of the great saphenous vein. The results showed a higher success rate at 6 months with 3% polidocanol liquid compared to 2% polidocanol liquid. However, there was no significant difference in quality of life, and long-term follow-up studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study demonstrated that in the treatment of VVs caused by GSV insufficiency, RFA was noninferior to HLS and CHIVA in terms of clinical recurrence. Additionally, RFA showed noninferiority in ultrasound recurrence and quality of life compared to CHIVA.

Summary: This study compared outcomes of patients undergoing venous ablation for junctional reflux and nonjunctional reflux in the saphenous vein, finding that junctional reflux is more likely to be bilateral but does not affect patient presentation or treatment outcomes.

Summary: Proanthocyanidins (PA) and anthocyanins are polyphenol compounds widely found in various parts of plants. They have shown excellent antioxidant, anti-cancer, and other pharmacological effects. Recent reviews and meta-analyses indicate their value in the prevention and management of cardiometabolic disease. More research is needed to establish their clinical efficacy.
