The primary objective for this clinical study is to assess the role of the CE Marked Sapheon Closure System in closure of incompetent great saphenous veins "GSV" in a routine clinical setting.
This is a post market, observational study of closure of the great saphenous vein "GSV". Efficacy and safety (adverse events) will be compared to appropriate literature reports to determine if the results of the treatment of reflux disease with the Sapheon Closure System are consistent with or better than the expectations of the medical community for alternative treatments, specifically Laser Thermal Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation. Additional comparison points may include measurements of pain and/or length of time to return to work.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparative Duplex Ultrasound | The Primary endpoint is a change in duplex ultrasound immediately post-procedure as compared to the pre-procedure duplex ultrasound, proving great saphenous vein closure with lack of pathological reflux. | Immediately Post-procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | The Secondary endpoint is safety, reflected by the rate of occurrence of all adverse events (procedure and non-procedure related; serious and non-serious). | Immediately post-op through 6 month Follow-up "FU" |

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Life expectancy < 1 year.

Anticoagulation including Heparin or Coumadin.
Previous Deep Vein Thrombosis "DVT".
Previous superficial thrombophlebitis in "GSV".
Previous venous treatment on target limb.
Known Hyper-coagulable disorder.
Conditions which prevent routine vein treatment like:
