  • Title: Endovenous laser treatment of varicose veins.
    Author: Gibson KD, Ferris BL, Pepper D.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2007 Oct; 87(5):1253-65, xii. PubMed ID: 17936485.
    Abstract:
    Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) has become a standard therapy for the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency. It offers a rapid, office-based therapy with minimal patient downtime and an easier recovery than traditional surgical treatment. EVLT is effective and durable and can successfully treat saphenous truncal insufficiency and accessory branches with low complication rates. EVLT can increase patient satisfaction and enable the treatment of a wider variety of patients with a more efficient procedure compared with traditional techniques.
