NCT05312970
The purpose of this study is to observe insights into the benefits of Varithena compared to Endothermal Ablation (ETA) in the treatment of the great saphenous vein.
NCT07449728
Technically successful laser crossectomy will reduce the risk of reflux recurrence at the sapheno-femoral junction without increasing the risk of endovenous heat-induced thrombosis, which may positively impact the likelihood of ultrasound- or clinical-recurrence of varicose veins. Similar technical efficacy is expected for laser crossectomy at 1940 nm and 1470 nm. A possible advantage of the 1940 nm wavelength in terms of postoperative pain intensity and the risk of adverse events cannot be ruled out.
NCT02557542
A pilot randomised controlled trial looking at the setting up of a one stop vein clinic for the treatment of varicose veins and assessing the quality-adjusted life years at 3 months of patients This will be a pilot study which is designed to provide enough information for a potentially larger multicentre randomised controlled study.
NCT05735639
Endovenous interventions are keyhole operations for varicose veins that are carried out from within the vein itself. Varicose veins are enlarged veins close to the surface of the skin. They are connected to the bigger deeper veins in the leg (known as deep veins). Because of this, operations to close the varicose veins can increase the chance of a blood clot forming in the deep veins. Blood clots in the deep veins happen in around 1 in 50 people after endovenous operations. A clot in the leg can cause swelling, pain, and other long-term problems. If a clot in the leg breaks off and travels to the lungs, it can cause problems with the lung' ability to move oxygen from the air into the blood and may, in rare cases, be life threatening. Varicose vein procedures may carry a slightly higher risk of blood clot formation, and we are currently unsure if current clot reducing medicines are beneficial in preventing blood clots in people having varicose vein procedures. This study will investigate if it is worthwhile prescribing medicines to reduce blood clots after varicose vein procedures.
NCT02397226
200 patients with insufficient great saphenous veins will be randomized to either radiofrequency ablation or high ligation/stripping (open surgery). They will be examined according to standardized examination protocol Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), with duplex ultrasound and plethysmography pre- and postoperatively (1-month, 1-, 3 and 5 years). They are to fill questionnaires EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and disease specific Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ).
NCT06711120
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation in the treatment of primary saphenous varicose veins.
NCT06693245
Objective: This study is a single-center prospective observational research that recorded patients' pain scores at four time points during surgery (puncture and catheter insertion, swelling fluid injection, microwave generator operation, and end of surgery). It analyzed the correlation between pain during microwave ablation treatment for great saphenous vein varicosities and factors such as age, gender, body mass index, volume of swelling fluid used, and others, in order to summarize and improve surgical details to reduce patients' intraoperative pain.
NCT06332833
Patients with PAD having superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion were consecutively enrolled. Demographic data and medical history were taken. Physical examination and duplex ultrasound were performed.
NCT05508581
Lower-limb varicose veins (VVs) are the most common of vascular diseases and affect up to one-third of the population, severely affecting the quality of life (QoL) of patients. In past decades, traditional surgical ligation and stripping were the gold standard therapy for patients with VVs; however, traditional methods have demonstrated high complication and recurrence rates. Thus, the practices are moving toward minimally invasive alternatives.
NCT03416413
This study will be comparing the treatment of varicose vein tributaries using either foam sclerotherapy or ambulatory phlebectomies. Patients will be randomised to having either ambulatory phlebectomy (group A) or foam sclerotherapy (group B) following treatment of their saphenous vein. The re-intervention rates, safety, patient experience as well as the cost effectiveness of each intervention will be assessed.
NCT05261412
This is a prospective, single centre, randomised controlled, feasibility study recruiting patients with varicose veins. Patients will be randomised to receive standard (verbal discussion and written information pamphlet) consent or a digital health education tool (dHET). The primary endpoints will be feasibility and practicality of introducing dHET into a busy day surgery practice, secondary endpoints will included knowledge recall of essential information, patient anxiety, patient satisfaction and the time spent in person with the responsible surgeon and number of questions asked prior to signing the consent document.
NCT04487314
A prospective cohort study of patients with primary varicose veins to assess the morbidity, risk factors and development of chronic lower limb vein disease.
NCT05930587
In the literature, it is stated that cold water immersion to lower extremities is effective on the symptoms of the disease. Studies have shown that cold water immersion, which is one of the cold application methods, has effects on increasing joint mobility, reducing pain, reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and increasing quality of life etc. For this reason, the study is planned as a randomized controlled interventional study to determine the effect of cold water immersion directly to the lower extremity in the preoperative period of patients with varicose veins on quality of life, anxiety and symptoms experienced.
NCT02335580
The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis is 5-20%. Current evidence regarding the effect of portal vein thrombosis on the prognosis of cirrhotic patients remains under debate. Considering that PVT potentially elevates the portal pressure and thereby increase the risk of variceal bleeding, we focus on the patients with high-risk varices and variceal bleeding as the study population. Thus, the main goals are to analyze the effect of PVT on the incidence of first variceal bleeding in patients without any prior bleeding history but with high-risk varices, the incidence of recurrent variceal bleeding in patients with a history of variceal bleeding, and the treatment failure rate of variceal bleeding in patients with acute variceal bleeding. Certainly, the survival is also observed in all patients.
NCT04034329
This study will be looking at the effect of Ambulatory Selective Varices Ablation under Local Anesthesia (ASVAL) and Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) with concomitant phlebectomy in patients with incompetent great saphenous vein (GSV).
NCT05654233
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding sulodexide to the patients with varicose veins who received radiofrequency ablation combined with sclerotherapy can reduce or improve the impact of adverse events。
NCT02936271

NCT05372146
86 patients were randomized into hot-CHIVA (n=43) and control (n=43) groups. Study group patients had undergone radiofrequency ablation (RFA) VNUS Closure - FastTM of one segment of GSV close to saphenofemoral junction. Controls had undergone whole refluxing trunk ablation. Additional phlebectomy was performed in all the patients of both groups. Primary end-point was change in quality of life (QoL) measured with CIVIQ-20 at 12 months. Secondary end-points was recurrence of varicose veins at 12 months. The investigators also measured GSV caliber at the median and distal thigh change in hot-CHIVA group.
