Comparison of polidocanol endovenous microfoam (Varithena) to physician-compounded foam in sclerotherapy treatment of truncal varicosities: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

In patients with saphenous varices, there was no indication that Varithena was superior to or associated with fewer complications than PCFs Further trials are required to define the role of Varithena in the treatment of varicose veins, especially within the context of less expensive alternatives.
