Overview

Retrospective study compares efficacy and safety of endovenous laser ablation and radiofrequency ablation for great saphenous vein incompetence, revealing distinct outcomes.

Key Points

  • Endovenous laser ablation showed a lower recurrence rate at 24 months compared to radiofrequency ablation, at 5.6% versus 10.2%.
  • Radiofrequency ablation had fewer thrombotic complications, with deep vein thrombosis incidence at 0.7% compared to 1.8% for endovenous laser ablation.
  • The study used propensity score matching to balance characteristics of 864 endovenous laser ablation and 1009 radiofrequency ablation cases.
  • While radiofrequency ablation demonstrated better symptom relief and safety, it had a higher long-term recurrence risk necessitating careful treatment choice.
