Treatment of Varicose Veins Associated with Ascending Thrombophlebitis

Abstract

Within 1377 patients with varicose vein surgery, 9 patients had ascending thrombophlebitis in our hospital. All patients underwent anticoagulation therapy before surgery, and the mean days until the operation was 28.8 days. Endovenous thermal ablation was performed for patients who had lost thrombus after anticoagulation, and stripping surgery was selected for patients had remained thrombus. Although there is no fixed treatment policy, our perioperative results are satisfactory and our treatment policy is considered to be appropriate.
