“…However, this procedure is invasive and prone to incision infection, which may cause temporary or permanent damage to the saphenous nerve during surgery and impair postoperative recovery 13 . In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical technology, more and more minimally invasive surgeries have been used for the treatment of VVLE and have achieved critical results 14 . Ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy combined with endoluminal radiofrequency closure is a new method for the treatment of VVLE.…”

“… 13 In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical technology, more and more minimally invasive surgeries have been used for the treatment of VVLE and have achieved critical results. 14 Ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy combined with endoluminal radiofrequency closure is a new method for the treatment of VVLE. It produces thermal energy through radiofrequency tube to act on the intima and collagen fibres of diseased vein vessels, resulting in thermal coagulation effect, damaging endothelial cells, causing degeneration, thickening, organisation, contracture, and shedding, promoting shrinkage of the venous lumen, thickening of the venous wall, and closing varices after the formation of fibrotic cords, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment.…”

We aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy combined with endoluminal radiofrequency closure in patients with varicose veins of lower extremities (VVLEs); furthermore, we aimed to provide a theoretical basis for the effective management of VVLE patients in clinical work. From January 1, 2020, to March 1, 2021, 88 patients with VVLE admitted to Third Hospital of Shandong Province were included in this retrospective study. Depending on the type of treatment, the patients were divided into study groups and control groups. The study group consisted of 44 patients who were given ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy combined with endoluminal radiofrequency closure. The control group consisted of 44 patients who were given high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein. Efficacy indicators included postoperative venous clinical severity score (VCSS) of affected limb and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score. Safety indicators included length of operation, intraoperative blood loss, length of postoperative rest in bed, length of hospital stay, postoperative heart rate, preoperative blood saturation (SpO2), preoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), and complications. The VCSS score 6 months after operation in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05). The pain VAS score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 1 and 3 days after operation (both P < .05). Compared with the control group, the study group was significantly lower in length of operation, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative in‐bed time, and hospital stays (all P < .05). Heart rate and SpO2 were significantly higher, and MAP was significantly lower in the study group compared with that in the control group 12 hours after surgery (all P < .05). The overall postoperative complication rate in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < .05). In conclusion, compared with surgical treatment of high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein, ultrasound‐guided foam sclerotherapy combined with endoluminal radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of VVLE disease has better efficacy and safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

“…[ 3 ] Varicose veins of lower extremities are mainly caused by valvular insufficiency, weak vein wall and increased pressure of superficial vein. [ 4 ] Muscle pump plays a certain role in it. When muscle pump failure is caused by sedentary, neuromuscular degenerative diseases and obesity, it will aggravate venous stagnation and increase venous pressure.…”

Background: The varicose veins of the lower extremities showed earthworm-like dilatation and venous protrusion of the lower extremities. Polidocanol foam sclerotherapy, as a minimally invasive treatment with rapid recovery, less trauma and not easy to relapse, has achieved good results in clinical, but it is lack of evidence-based medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of polidocanol in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities by meta-analysis. Method: Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese Scientifific Journals Database, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, EMBASE database, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library will be used as search sources to conduct for randomized controlled trials of polidocanol in the treatment of varicose veins of lower extremities. The search time is set from the establishment of the database in December 2020 in this study. Two researchers independently extract, delete files, extract data and evaluate the quality. Revman software version 5.3 will be used for statistical analysis of data. Result: In this study, the efficacy and safety of polidocanol in the treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities will be evaluated in terms of total effective rate, incidence of complications and recurrence rate. Conclusion: This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence for the clinical application of polidocanol in the treatment of varicose veins of lower extremities. Ethics and dissemination: Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval will not be required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences. OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/AUR4X.

“…As a type of chemical sclerosants, lauromacrogol has been widely used in gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cystic thyroid nodules, and varicose veins. [10][11][12] Chai et al 13 first reported a novel treatment for CSP using curettage following local lauromacrogol injection. The effects of local lauromacrogol injection to occlude trophoblastic inflow and whether it is recommended are still unclear.…”

Aim: To introduce the novel use of lauromacrogol for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), and to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of curettage combined with ultrasound-guided sclerosant injection (USI) and curettage following uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of CSP. Methods: CSP patients undergoing curettage combined with USI (n = 72) from December 2014 to May 2020 were compared to patient with curettage following UAE (n = 72).The basic clinical findings and clinical outcomes were reviewed between the two groups. Results: For USI group, 69 patients underwent successful treatment (95.8% success rate), while the number of cured patients for the UAE group was 70 (97.2% success rate). Differences between USI group and UAE group in intraoperative blood loss
