Abstract
Introduction
Thermal ablation is increasingly being used for the treatment of varicose veins. We report a novel use of thermal ablation.
Report
We report a patient who presented with showers of pulmonary emboli arising in an area of superficial thrombophlebitis in varicose veins of the left leg. The patient underwent urgent endovenous radiofrequency thermal ablation of the patent segment of the great saphenous vein in order to obliterate the origin of the pulmonary embolizati. There was rapid resolution of symptoms.
Conclusion
Endovenous ablation of the great saphenous vein has not been used before for the treatment of this condition.
