| Abstrakt: | Objectives: Aim was to report a prospective two-centre Singaporean experience using Endovenous Microwave Ablation (EMA) to treat symptomatic primary great saphenous vein reflux. We evaluated 1-year safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction. Methods: 50 patients (63 limbs; 29 females; mean age 58.0 ± 12.1 years) were included. Patients were reviewed at 2-weeks, 3-, 6- and 12-months and underwent Duplex ultrasound assessment. Three quality of life (QoL) questionnaires were completed. Results: The truncal closure rates at 2-weeks, 3-, 6- and 12-months were 63/63 (100%), 59/59 (100%), 58/58 (100%) and 59/60 (98.3%), respectively. There was 100% technical success and no serious adverse events. There were sustained improvement of QoL questionnaire scores from 2 weeks to 12 months. Conclusion: EMA is a safe and efficacious venous ablative technology at 12 months and is associated with a high rate of target vein occlusion and sustained QoL improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
