Positioning of CAC from the Perspective of 40 Years of Treatment for Varicose Veins in the Lower Extremities

Abstract

Along with advances in minimally invasive medicine over the past 40 years, treatment for varicose veins in the lower extremities has also changed approximately every 10 years. Each time, the problems of various treatments became apparent. Based on this, we formulated a basic policy for varicose vein treatment, and evaluated CAC, which is the latest treatment. Over 2 years, 615 cases and 792 limbs underwent CAC. As a result, CAC could be performed in accordance with the basic policy. And it can close the full length of GSV and SSV even in cases involving lipo-dermatosclerosis and skin ulcers.
