Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is one of the most widely used tests for evaluating endothelial function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of varicose vein (VV) surgery on FMD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospective study with patients with superficial CVD and saphenous incompetence on Doppler ultrasonography that were proposed for VV surgery.
