Outpatient treatment of truncal veins insufficiency
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endovenous closure of the truncal veins with n butyl- cyanoacrylate adhesive on an outpatient basis. We treated 100 cases of venous insufficiency with endovenous NBCA glue closure of the truncal veins on anoutpatient basis. Patients were usually admitted to the vascular surgery department at the time of the procedure. The surgery took place in the general operation room, under local anesthesia. We didn’t use compression stockings and patients were instructed to walk immediately after the operation. There was a 100% successful obliteration of the target vein in day 0, 2weeks, 3-months and one year. The majority of patients (98%) reported improvement of the symptoms, whereas 60 patients (60%) had complete elimination of symptoms. The appearance of varicose veins improved in 96% of the cases. There were no major adverse effects observed during follow-up. A percentage of 28% presented erythema and tenderness along GSV and 15 of those patients were treated with anti-inflammatory drugs (Ibuprofen).
As a conclusion, we suggest that outpatient treatment of venous insufficiency with endovenous glue closure is a safe and efficient method. It improves patient satisfaction, enables quicker return to daily activities, and reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections and hospitalization costs.
