Duplex-guided Sclerotherapy

Innovative Treatments in Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Endovenous Laser Ablation of Perforating Veins: A Prospective Short-term Analysis of 58 Cases

“…15 Complications such as hyperpigmentation and skin necrosis have been described. 16 Studies reported using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) show high initial success rates of 90e100%, and 1-year occlusion ranging from 46% to 79%. 14 Klem et al described the use of a cryo-probe, with the advantage that intraluminal access to the perforating vein is not mandatory.…”

Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Ablation for the Treatment of Perforating Vein Incompetence

“…Complications are similar to those of other sclerotherapy techniques: hyperpigmentation, phlebitis, skin necrosis, and allergy. 29,30 Further follow-up is needed as with all PAPs regarding long-term occlusion rates, recurrence rates of IPVs, and ulcer recurrence rates. A consensus document by Perrin and colleagues emphasized that UGS of IPVs is a technique worth pursuing.…”

Posterolateral Thigh Perforator Varicosities in 12 Patients: A Normal Deep Venous System and Successful Treatment with Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy

“…Complications of sclerotherapy of IPV are equal to complications that occur with sclerotherapy of varicose veins: hyperpigmentation, phlebitis, skin necrosis, allergy, and intraarterial injection. 14 These complications are rare 15 despite the fact that many perforating veins run with an artery. We treated 11 PLTP patients with USGS.…”
