All references pertaining to large varicose vein closure were reviewed.RESULTSThere are multiple safe and effective minimally invasive methods to achieve occlusion of incompetent great saphenous vein, the most widely used of which is endovenous thermal ablation. Other nonthermal, tumescent, and nontumescent methods can also be used.CONCLUSIONProper knowledge of vein anatomy, ultrasound, and vein closure procedures is needed to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
