摘要
目的:比较超声引导下射频消融(RFA)联合支静脉切除术和泡沫硬化治疗与高位结扎剥离(HLS)联合支静脉切除术的临床疗效、术后并发症和生活质量。设计:单中心回顾性队列研究。方法:回顾性分析2740例患者(女性1588例;平均年龄59.01±12.03岁,于2020年10月至2023年10月期间接受治疗。其中RFA 1756例(64.1%),HLS 984例(35.9%)。我们评估了即时成功率、12个月再通率、症状性复发、再干预率和并发症;AVVQ和CIVIQ-14评分用于评估生活质量(QoL),而VCSS用于评估术后1、6和12个月的疾病严重程度。结果:两组患者均取得立竿见影的效果。12个月时,RFA组有7例再通(0.40%),HLS组为0例(P=0.112);症状复发率分别为0.17%和0.20% (P=1.000);再干预率为2.62%比3.05% (P=0.064);两组深静脉血栓形成2例。HLS组的轻微并发症包括瘀伤(25.20% vs. 20.16%, P=0.002)、疼痛(25.41% vs. 20.39%, P=0.002)、麻木(10.98% vs. 3.30%)。结论:超声引导RFA联合泡沫硬化治疗可减少疼痛、瘀伤、麻木等轻微并发症,显著改善早期生活质量,但存在较高的硬化和色素沉着风险。RFA和HLS长期疗效好,复发率低;治疗应根据病人的病情和康复需要进行个体化。
Comparison of Radiofrequency Ablation and High Ligation Stripping for Varicose Veins: A Retrospective Analysis.
Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy, postoperative complications, and quality-of-life outcomes of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with tributary phlebectomy and foam sclerotherapy versus high ligation and stripping (HLS) combined with tributary phlebectomy.
Design: A single-center retrospective cohort study.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 2,740 patients (1,588 women; mean age 59.01 ± 12.03 years) treated between October 2020 and October 2023. Among them, 1,756 (64.1%) underwent RFA and 984 (35.9%) underwent HLS. We assessed immediate success rate, 12-month recanalization, symptomatic recurrence, reintervention rate, and complications; The AVVQ and CIVIQ-14 scores were used to evaluate quality of life (QoL), while the VCSS was used to assess disease severity at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
Results: Immediate success was achieved in both groups. At 12 months, the RFA group had 7 recanalizations (0.40%) versus 0 in the HLS group (P=0.112); symptomatic recurrence was 0.17% vs. 0.20% (P=1.000); reintervention rate was 2.62% vs. 3.05% (P=0.064); and each group had 2 cases of deep vein thrombosis. Minor complications in the HLS group included bruising (25.20% vs. 20.16%, P=0.002), pain (25.41% vs. 20.39%, P=0.002), and numbness (10.98% vs. 3.30%, P<0.001); the RFA group had higher induration (17.20% vs. 3.25%, P<0.001) and pigmentation (2.62% vs. 0.81%, P=0.001). Both groups showed significant improvements in AVVQ, VCSS, and CIVIQ-14 scores (P<0.05), with the RFA group demonstrating greater early improvement at 1 month.
Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided RFA with foam sclerotherapy reduces minor complications such as pain, bruising, and numbness and significantly improves early quality of life, though it carries a higher risk of induration and pigmentation. Both RFA and HLS offer good long-term efficacy and low recurrence rates; treatment should be individualized based on patient condition and recovery needs.
