| Popis: | Aim: Our aim was to evaluate the two-year results of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of great saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency.Methods: A total number of 217 patients who underwent RFA (52.5 % male, mean age 42.7±11.4) were included in the study. RFA was performed in patients with great saphenous vein valvular incompetence and saphenofemoral junction incompetence. Occlusion status was recorded by ultrasonography. Venous clinical severity score (VCSS) was calculated pre- and post-intervention.Results: The mean follow-up period of the patients was 22.2 ± 5.1 months. Cumulative survival rate (Kaplan–Meier) of 24-month follow-up was 84.3%. Complete occlusion rate for GSV was 100%, 98.6% ,97.6%, 97.6% and 97.6% for 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months follow up, respectively. VCSS was significantly different before RFA and 4 weeks after RFA (p < 0.001). No major complications were observed in the study.Conclusion: In the treatment of GSV insufficiency, RFA is a safely applied method with high occlusion rates and obvious VCSS score decrease. Amaç: Çalışmamızda büyük safen ven (GSV) yetmezliğinin tedavisinde radyofrekans ablasyonun (RFA) iki yıllık sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.Yöntemler: Çalışmaya RFA uygulanan toplam 217 hasta (%52,5 erkek, ortalama yaş 42.7 ± 11.4) dahil edildi. RFA işlemi büyük safen vende kapak yetersizliği ve safenofemoral bileşkede venöz reflü olan hastalara uygulandı. Oklüzyon takibi doppler ultrasonografi ile yapıldı. Müdahale öncesi ve sonrası Venous clinical severity score (VCSS) kayıt altına alındı.Bulgular: Hastalar ortalama 22.2 ± 5,1 ay takip edildi. 24 aylık takipte kümülatif sağkalım oranı (Kaplan-Meier) %84,3 idi. GSV için tam oklüzyon oranı 1, 6, 12, 18 ve 24 aylıktakiplerde sırasıyla % 100,% 98.6,% 97.6,% 97.6 ve% 97.6 idi. RFA işleminden önce ve RFA uygulandıktan 4 hafta sonra hesaplanan VCSS değerleri anlamlı ölçüde farklıydı (p |
