Controlled venospasm-assisted foam sclerotherapy combined with high ligation—a novel minimally invasive approach for primary great saphenous vein varicosities

CVAFS leverages controlled venospasm to enhance foam-endothelium contact, significantly improving occlusion rates and symptom relief with acceptable safety. This approach offers a promising minimally invasive alternative for GSV varicosities.
