Abstract

Aims This study aimed to determine the success rate and complications occurring after Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in patients with small saphenous insufficiency who underwent RFA in Rasht. Methods & Materials Patients with Small saphenous vein insufficiency who underwent RFA were explored respecting success rate and potential complications, such as pain, hematoma, neuropathy, Endothermal Heat-Induced Thrombosis (EHIT), and skin burns. The study subjects were assessed 2 weeks after the procedure. Reconanalysis was followed up in the study participants by ultrasound at 2 weeks, 3-6 months, and the first year after RFA. Findings This study examined 62 patients. A 100% success rate was reported and no case of reflux was observed in the first control ultrasound 2 weeks after RFA. The mean pain score significantly decreased (P<0. 001). Besides, in one year, 3 cases of recanalization, 7 cases of EHIT, 9 cases of neuropathy, and 1 case of superficial thrombophlebitis were reported,no case of skin burn was observed. Conclusion Considering the 100% success rate and slight adverse effects of this method, such as pain and recanalization, RFA is an acceptable approach. Furthermore, the incidence of EHIT should be considered.
