Abstract:

In 1981 J. McKinlay proposed a life cycle model for medical technology which included seven stages — from appearance to disappearance. This model is a kind of key for assessing the benefits and risks of introduction of certain technology into clinical practice. Aim — to determine current stage of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) according to J. McKinlay life cycle model. Material and methods. Literature search was conducted in the PubMed database until December 2017. Keywords: included «endovenous laser» in different variations. We included only English language papers. Results. A total of 684 publications were analyzed. The first stage (promising reports) includes 3 articles published in 2001 and 2002. The second stage (professional adoption) — 21 reports published in 2002—2004. The third stage (public acceptance) — 44 publications published in 2003—2009. The fourth stage (standard procedure) included 473 (69%) of publications; the fifth stage (randomized controlled trials) — 90 articles published in 2005—2017. There were no reports for the sixth stage (professional denunciation). The seventh stage (erosion and discreditation) included 53 publications. There is annual augmentation of the number of reports referred to this stage. Conclusion. At present time, there is transition from randomized controlled trials to the stage of erosion and discreditation of EVLA according to J. McKinlay model.
