Abstract

Background: Assess the safety and effectiveness of indirect radiofrequency ablation (RFA, Closure FAST) for the treatment of incompetent great saphenous veins (GSVs) with type 1 aneurysms.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis performed in three centers (2007-2021). All patients presenting with saphenous aneurysms close to the junction (within 2 cm) were included. They were treated with RFA. Phlebectomies and/or sclerotherapy were performed during the same treatment session. Duplex ultrasound (DUS) was performed early after the procedure and then, more than a year later.

Results: Eight patients (11 limbs) were included between June 2007 and May 2021 with a median diameter of the GSV aneurysm 21 mm (IQR 17.2-23.4). No severe adverse events occurred apart from one endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT) class III (9.1%). After more than a year (mean 7.2 ± 4.2, median 8 years), none of the aneurysms was present on DUS and the truncal obliteration rate was 100%.

Conclusion: RFA appears to be a safe and effective treatment for patients presenting with incompetent saphenous veins with the type 1 aneurysm.

间接射频消融(FAST)治疗I型动脉瘤无能大隐静脉的安全性和有效性:射频消融治疗隐动脉瘤的长期结果。

背景:评估间接射频消融(RFA, closed FAST)治疗无能大隐静脉(GSVs)合并1型动脉瘤的安全性和有效性。方法:对三个中心(2007-2021年)进行回顾性分析。所有在交界附近(2厘米以内)出现隐动脉瘤的患者均被纳入研究。他们接受RFA治疗。静脉切除术和/或硬化治疗在同一疗程进行。双工超声(DUS)在手术后早期进行，然后在一年多后进行。结果:2007年6月至2021年5月纳入8例(11条肢体)，GSV动脉瘤中位直径为21 mm (IQR为17.2-23.4)。除一例静脉内热致血栓形成(EHIT) III级(9.1%)外，未发生严重不良事件。术后1年多(平均7.2±4.2年，中位8年)，DUS检查无动脉瘤出现，截骨闭塞率100%。结论:RFA是治疗1型动脉瘤患者隐静脉功能不全的一种安全有效的方法。
