Women were divided in three groups. Pelvic pain alone, leg pain alone or combined pelvic and leg pain (mixed).

The average age of the cohort was 52±13.8. Racial distribution was the following: 49% Caucasian, 16% African American, 11% Hispanic, 1% Asian and 23% unknown. The most common gynecologic disorders reported were hysterectomy (31%), uterine fibroids (4%), endometriosis (4.4%), ovarian cysts (2.8%) and polycystic ovaries (1.5%). Average follow-up was 2.32±2.4 years. Pre and post intervention visual analog pain (VAS) scores were the following: Pelvic (7.61±3.72/1.93±3.2), Leg (6.18±2.95/2.42±3.2) and mixed (5.72± 3.72/2.4±3.1)(p≤0.05). For women with a history of endometriosis pre and post VAS scores were the following: 6.52±3.15 and 2.5±0.6 (p≤0.05).

A total of 1738 stents were placed: Pelvic (n=27), Leg (n=564) and Mixed (n=935). The most common stent diameters and lengths were 14 and 16 millimeters(mm) and 140 and 160 mm.

However, it is understudied how improvement in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after EVTA is related to the pre-operative clinical class in the clinical, etiological, anatomical, and pathophysiological (CEAP) classification. This study investigated whether patients with higher CEAP clinical class have lower odds of perceived symptomatic improvement than patients with lower pre-procedural clinical class.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A retrospective cohort analysis of Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) Varicose Vein Registry data from 2014-2021 was conducted. Patients &gt;18 years of age that underwent EVTA alone and followed up within 3 months were included, while those with a clinical CEAP class of C0 or C1, non-truncal ablation, missing baseline CEAP score, or weight and height outside VQI data standards were excluded. Patient-reported limb appearance, work impact, and a composite score of heaviness, achiness, swelling, throbbing and itching (HASTI) were analyzed on a per-limb basis. Factors associated with improvement in PROs were tested with multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression. The models adjusted for CEAP class, demographics, and anatomic variables as fixed effects and were clustered by VQI center. Demographic and comorbidity data were compared across CEAP classes with Chi-squared, Kruskal-Wallis, or ANOVA testing as appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;6,364 patients met inclusion criteria, and 7,607 limbs were analyzed for the study period. Patient demographics and comorbid venous pathologies were not evenly distributed among the CEAP classes. Patients with C6 disease (odds ratio [OR]:0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.45-0.88; p=0.01) and patients with a history of phlebitis (OR:0.76, 95% CI:0.59-0.99; p=0.04) had lower odds of improvement in HASTI score. For patient-reported appearance, C3 (OR:0.79, 95% CI:0.66-0.94; p=0.01) and C6 (OR:0.50, 95% CI:0.38-0.67; p&lt;0.01) disease were associated with lower odds of improvement. Obesity (OR:0.87, 95% CI:0.76-0.99; p=0.04), preoperative anticoagulation (OR:0.77, 95% CI:0.62-0.97; p=0.03), and prior vein treatment (OR:0.81, 95% CI:0.71-0.93; p&lt;0.01) were also negatively associated with appearance, while age ≥ 65 was positively associated (OR:1.17, 95% CI:1.01-1.35; p=0.04).
