  • Title: Five years' experience in endovenous laser therapy of lower extremity varicose veins.
    Author: Malý I, Julínek S, Winkler L.
    Journal: Int Surg; 2010; 95(3):221-6. PubMed ID: 21067000.
    Abstract:
    The authors performed a total of 237 endolaser treatments for insufficiency of great and small saphenous veins and assessed 5-year results. It was found that this method, especially if performed with a 1470-nm-wavelength laser combined with instrumental removal of some lateral veins, was very effective. It was delicate for patients, and it significantly shortened the length of their work incapacity. The benefits of removal of insufficient veins in a whole leg during a single session with the patient under total anesthesia are stressed.
