A novel endovascular thermal ablation technique for pelvic venous disorders via basilic vein access: A prospective descriptive study
Basilic access 1470-nm EVLA of refluxing gonadal veins is feasible, safe, and shows high early technical and clinical success with same-day discharge and no complications in this pilot cohort. Larger multicenter randomized trials with follow-up beyond 12 months, blinded imaging review, standardized patient-reported outcomes, and cost-effectiveness analyses are warranted.
