Visible dilated veins found in the lower extremities are called varicose veins. In these slides, you will understand everything about varicose veins.

Foam Sclerotherapy
Principle : By injecting sclerosant
into a varicose vein, destroy its
endothelium in that area , and thus
induce an aseptic thrombosis which
organises and closes the vein.
Complication:
Pain
Hyperpigmentation
Ulceration at injection site
DVT
Anaphylaxis and allergic reaction

20. Procedure
• EVLT is done under local anaesthesia
• Under USG guidance varicose vein is marked
preoperatively.
• Supine position is given.
• Vein is canulated with 0.035” J guide wire via
16 G needle.
• The LASER fibre is then introduce over it upto
2 cm distal to SF junction.

21. • Fiber is withdrawn at the rate
1-3mm / sec under USG
guidance .
• This laser fiber causes thermal
damage to the venous
endothelium(1000 c) and
occlusion of lumen by fibrosis.
• Immediately after procedure
compression stockings are
given.
• Patient can be discharge on
same day with good analgesics
and with compression stockings.

23. ADVANTAGE OF EVLT
• Minimal invasive procedure
• One needle puncture at the level of the knee
• No post op scar
• Done with local anesthesia
• Minimal post-op pain
• Office based procedure
• Takes about 1 hour
• Patient resumes normal activity same day
• Recurrence rate ( at 2 year f/u only 3%.
