Does Minimal Post-operative Compression Affect the Outcome for Endovenous Ablation in Treating Varicose Vein Patients?

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Varicose Vein, Venous Insufficiency

In brief

In this proposal, the investigators seek to determine whether a reduced compression after endovenous ablation procedure in treating superficial venous insufficiency affects the outcomes. This study involves only the use of the compression stocking post endovenous ablation procedure and everything else is standard according to current guidelines. The investigators general strategy will be to determine the role of a minimal post-operative compression and the status of patient satisfaction including (1) Success closure rate of the treated vein. (2) Less pain; (3) Easier accepted by the patients.
