Does the Timing of Combined Radiofrequency Ablation and Foam Sclerotherapy Influence Healing Outcomes in Venous Ulcers?

Venous ulcers, resulting from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), represent a significant clinical challenge due to their prolonged healing times, high recurrence rates, and impact on patient quality of life. Endovenous therapies, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and foam sclerotherapy, are widely recognized as effective in managing venous reflux, a primary cause of venous ulcers. However, the influence of treatment timing on ulcer healing outcomes when combining RFA and foam sclerotherapy remains underexplored [1]
