Ten-year outcomes of a randomized clinical trial of endothermal ablation <i>versus</i> conventional surgery for great saphenous varicose veins
Both surgery and endothermal ablation are effective treatments for varicose veins at 10 years, with durable improvement in QoL and a very low rate of disease progression. However, endothermal ablation was associated with superior clinical and QoL outcomes. Registration number: NCT00759434 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
