High-intensity-focused ultrasound treatment for the chronic venous disease based on the Cure Conservatrice et Hémodynamique de l’Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (CHIVA) strategy
HIFU achieves high leak point occlusion rates when applied under CHIVA principles, supporting its role as an effective and safe noninvasive alternative for chronic venous disease treatment. The technique minimizes risks associated with thermal ablation, such as skin burns and nerve damage, while addressing limitations of conventional methods. These results highlight the potential of HIFU as a disruptive technology in venous disease management. Further studies should assess its long-term efficacy and safety.
