Resumen
LOZANO-BALDERAS, Gerardo et al. Endovenous radiofrequency ablation versus 1470 nm laser ablation for the treatment of chronic venous disease. Rev. mex. angiol. [online]. 2021, vol.49, n.4, pp.101-106. Epub 02-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2696-130X. https://doi.org/10.24875/rma.21000036.
Background:
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is an entity generally underestimated because the impact of this pathology is unknown. The importance of chronic venous insufficiency lies in the number of patients who suffer from it and the socio-economic impact.
Materials and Methods:
A prospective, observational, and analytic study was carried out in 80 patients with CVD divided into two groups, the first one intervened with radiofrequency endovenous ablation and the second group with 1470 nm laser and compared post-surgical results at 7 and 30 days.
Results:
A discrepancy was found in postoperative pain at 7 days with 12.5% of patients reporting pain in the radiofrequency group and 10% in the laser group. The VCSS score was analyzed between both groups and no significant differences were found.
Conclusion:
Both surgical methods were shown to be effective in reducing clinical data of CVD, however, there is no significant advantage in none of both groups at 7 and 30 days.
