Endovasal methods for the treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities (a literature review)
https://doi.org/10.37895/2071-8004-2022-26-2-31-36
Abstract
The authors present a review on endovasal techniques applied for the treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities. These techniques are minimally invasive, though are not universal. They still have complications and relapses. To select the most effective one among them is not an easy task. We are facing the need to improve the existing modalities and to look for the new ones aimed to personalize care for each patient.
