There are several treatment alternatives available. Conventional surgical treatment is associated with high recurrence and complications. However, with the recent development of minimal invasive surgery, various techniques have been developed. Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is one of these techniques, which has proven to be safe and effective. Since EVLA is safe and has minor adverse reactions, residual VSM stump and its association with thrombosis after EVLA has not been well studied in literature.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Materials and<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Sixty-nine patients underwent EVLA with a 980-nm diode laser (Ceralas D, Biolitec AG, Jena, Germany), and retrospectively obtained data were analyzed over a 12-mo period. Twenty-six patients were excluded due to the lack of follow-up. All EVLA procedures were performed by the same surgeon, who has experience of EVLA. Laser power was set at 10\u201315\u2009W depending on the size of targeted vein. The saphenous vein was percutaneously punctured with an 18-gauge needle under ultrasonography guidance. Patients were reassessed at 1\u2009wk, and at 3, 6, and 12\u2009mo after the procedure.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Technical success was accomplished in all patients. One patient had flow signals with patent segment of the VSM visualized by venous duplex ultrasonography at 1\u2009mo, which persisted until the 12-mo follow-up. None of the patients developed acute deep-venous thrombosis.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    The present study shows that residual VSM stump-length measurement differences at 7\u2009d and 12\u2009mo were statistically significant. In future, large-scale studies are needed, focusing on the proper position of the catheter tip to the saphenofemoral junction and timing the intervals of follow-up after EVLA.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2009.2679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,9]],"date-time":"2010-10-09T09:19:53Z","timestamp":1286615993000},"page":"659-662","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Fate of Vena Saphena Magna Stump After Endovenous Laser Ablation with 980-nm Diode Laser: 12-Month Follow-Up"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Mehmet U.","family":"Ergenoglu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yeditepe University Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Sayin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yeditepe University Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suha","family":"Kucukaksu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yeditepe University Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mva.2002.121132"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"596","article-title":"Thermal damage of the inner vein wall during endovenous laser treatment: key role of energy absorption by intravascular blood","volume":"28","author":"Proebstle T.M.","year":"2002","unstructured":"Proebstle T.M., , Sandhofer M., , Kargl A. et al. 2002.
