Although endovenous thermal ablation, particularly radiofrequency ablation (RFA), has become the preferred treatment, post-procedural deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a concern. The necessity of pharmacologic prophylaxis following RFA remains controversial.

Objectives: Early endovenous intervention of the saphenous system improves healing and recurrence of venous leg ulcers (CEAP-6). As ablative methods continue to evolve, it is essential to identify outcome differences between the various techniques. This study aims to compare wound healing rates between primary non-thermal [cyanoacrylate glue (CAG) or commercial polidocanol microfoam ablation (MFA)] and thermal with adjunct MFA.

Varicose veins of the lower extremities with severe varicose syndrome are the most unfavorable course of disease, and surgeons face many challenges.
