Clinical effectiveness and patient-reported outcomes of endovenous ablation and surgical stripping in varicose vein management: a systematic review

Endovenous ablation techniques provide high success rates and significant quality-of-life improvements, reinforcing its role as first-line therapy for varicose veins. Non-thermal methods may reduce pain and complications, which makes them very attractive alternatives for selected patients. However, long-term studies are warranted to confirm the durability and safety of these emerging treatments.

Abstract

Endovenous ablation techniques provide high success rates and significant quality-of-life improvements, reinforcing its role as first-line therapy for varicose veins. Non-thermal methods may reduce pain and complications, which makes them very attractive alternatives for selected patients. However, long-term studies are warranted to confirm the durability and safety of these emerging treatments.
