All procedures were performed in an outpatient office setting of one surgeon (P.L.). Follow-up was within 1\u2009week and 3\u2009months with ultrasounds.

No statistical difference existed in age (p\u2009=\u20090.61), sex (p\u2009=\u20090.2063); race (0.3689), CAD (p\u2009=\u20090.1442), ESRD (p\u2009=\u20090.2914), diabetes mellitus (p\u2009=\u20090.8943), hypertension (p\u2009=\u20090.681), COPD (p\u2009=\u20090.38), or smoking (p\u2009=\u20090.3628). NAW group had higher rate of hyperlipidemia (p\u2009=\u20090.0225), obesity (p\u2009=\u20090.0283), MOCA and sclerotherapy (p\u2009=\u20090.0005). No difference existed in pain (p\u2009=\u20090.8897); wound complications were too small to perform analysis; and swelling was greater in AW group compared to NAW group (p\u2009=\u20090.0132, OR 3.3951, CI 1.269; 9.0834). Closure rates were 98% and 100% in AW and NAW groups, respectively.
