Fourteen Year Outcomes of a Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Endovenous Laser Ablation, High Ligation and Stripping, and Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy for Great Saphenous Varicose Veins

UGFS demonstrated inferior outcomes in terms of GSV recurrent reflux and re-intervention rates compared with both HLS and EVLA, whereas HLS and EVLA showed comparable performance across these outcomes. Long term quality of life was comparable across all groups.
