Compression And Functional Ability After Endovenous Varicose Vein Treatment

Compression And Functional Ability After Endovenous Varicose Vein Treatment

Study's aim is to study possible differences in post-operative rehabilitation, functional ability and visual disturbances after endovascular varicose intervention (RF-catheter and foam sclerotherapy) in two study groups, where patients will be randomised to either no compression group (Group I) or compression group (Group II)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Duplex ultrasound verified GSV, AASV and/or SSV incompetence suitable for radiofrequency ablation
• Comprehensive Classification System for Chronic Venous Disorders (CEAP) rated from C2 to C4
• Distal varicose vein insufficiency suitable for sclerotherapy
• Patient willingness to participate

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis
• Large (>12mm) truncal vein diameter
• CEAP C5-C6
• Antithrombotic medication (ASA accepted)
