“…Twenty one percent of patients experienced superficial thrombophlebitis, and 26% of patients developed a hematoma at the puncture site. 26 Most recently, a prospective evaluation was performed on 50 consecutive patient who underwent treatment of the small saphenous vein (SSA) using MOCA. 27 At 1 year follow-up anatomic success identified by duplex ultrasound was achieved in 94% of patients.…”

Tumescent anesthesia refers to the percutaneous administration of large volume anesthetic to cause the target tissue to become swollen or firm. The use of tumescent anesthesia is essential for the treatment of refluxing truncal veins using endothermal technologies. In order to obviate the use of tumescent anesthesia as an adjunct to treatment, one has to evaluate the technologies that do not employ thermal energy as the modality for treatment. These technologies include foam sclerotherapy, mechanicochemical ablation (MOCA), and the use of glue (Sapheon™ closure system). The following review juxtaposes the literature supporting the use of tumescent-based techniques to the literature supporting the use of tumescent-less techniques.
