Acute thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins is an urgent problem as it can spread to the deep veins with the subsequent development of pulmonary embolism. The social implications of varicotrombophlebitis are the long-term disability of most patients up to complete disability, so finding the least invasive methods of correction of the discussed disease is a pressing issue of modern phlebology. The research objective is to carry out a comparative analysis of the quality of life of patients with acute ascending thrombophlebitis of the great sapheneous vein after treatment with high-frequency endovenous welding and standard phlebectomy. The results of treatment of 63 patients with acute ascending thrombophlebitis of great saphenous vein (GSV) with III and IV class of thrombophlebitis, who were hospitalized in the surgical wards of the Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 8 of Kyiv from 2017 to 2018, were analyzed. Welding of the thrombotic vein segment was performed using an endovenous welding catheter (WC). Quality of life (QOL) results were assessed using CIVIQ2 (Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire). According to ultrasound duplex scanning, complete vein ablation occurred in 97.22% of patients after endovenous welding (EW) of thrombotic GSV. In all patients of Group I already on day 2, the total rate of QOL by all factors (pain, physical, social, psychological) significantly (p0.05) exceeded the presurgery values and was 79.3%, when before treatment this indicator was 4.3% higher. At follow-up, QOL values continued to improve over all observation periods compared to the previous term (p0.05). Quality of life restriction in connection with pain, social and psychological factors after EW decreased 2.1 times(p0.05), when in control group patients - only 1.2 times. The revealed advantages of the method of high-frequency endovenous welding by all indicators of quality of life over standard phlebectomy allow recommending this method for wide practical application. |
