Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are based on a systematic review of evidence to assess the benefits and harms of clinical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. As a result, CPGs should undergo periodic revision as new evidence is developed. Two recently published CPGs (2022) are revisions of original guidelines addressing a common problem, varicose veins (VVs). Our objective was to compare the similarities and differences between the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS)/American Venous Forum (AVF)/American Vein and Lymphatic Society (AVLS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery CPGs for treatment of C2 VVs.
