Ablation length, not modality type, determines healing outcomes in venous leg ulcers

Treatment of the full-length great saphenous vein with a single nonthermal modality (CAG or MFA) or a thermal modality plus MFA below the knee have comparable times to wound healing. This finding suggests that comprehensive treatment, irrespective of modality, of the entire great saphenous vein to the ankle is the preferred approach for optimal wound healing in Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology class 6 patients.

Abstract

Treatment of the full-length great saphenous vein with a single nonthermal modality (CAG or MFA) or a thermal modality plus MFA below the knee have comparable times to wound healing. This finding suggests that comprehensive treatment, irrespective of modality, of the entire great saphenous vein to the ankle is the preferred approach for optimal wound healing in Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology class 6 patients.
