Abstract
Endovenous thermal ablation is now one of the most important techniques for treating chronic venous insufficiency. Technical refinements and technological innovations have made it possible to employ the method not only in the saphenous veins, but also to treat superficial veins such as varicose tributaries. We describe a technique for surgical treatment of varicose veins using endovenous laser thermal ablation employing multiple punctures and present the experience at our service with analysis of 601 cases operated using this technique. Thermoablative treatment of tributary veins with multiple puncture sites expands the applications for endolaser in treatment of lower limb varicose veins, providing, comprehensive, safe, and effective treatment.
期刊介绍：
The Jornal Vascular Brasileiro is editated and published quaterly to select and disseminate high-quality scientific contents concerning original research, novel surgical and diagnostic techniques, and clinical observations in the field of vascular surgery, angiology, and endovascular surgery. Its abbreviated title is J. Vasc. Bras., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
