Foam Sclerotherapy with Multiple Ligation of Great Saphenous Vein

Abstract

It has been reported that residual incompetent great saphenous vein after ligation results in recurrence. To reduce recurrence rate, we adopted the injection of the saphenous trunk with foam sclerosants at the time of surgery. Foam sclerotherapy with multiple ligation group was superior to multiple ligation group in short term obstruction rates of great saphenous vein.
