Abstract:

Objective. To compare 2-year outcomes of isolated mini-phlebectomy (ASVAL) and EVLO with concomitant mini-phlebectomy. Material and methods. A prospective comparative study enrolled 76 patients (59 women, 17 men) with incompetent great saphenous vein (GSV) and classes C2—C3. GSV diameter measured at a distance of 15 cm from GSV ostium was the main criterion for distribution of patients into two groups. The 1st group included 33 patients (25 women, 8 men) with GSV≤6 mm who underwent ASVAL. The 2nd group consisted of 43 patients (34 women, 9 men) with GSV>6 mm (EVLO with concomitant mini-phlebectomy). Clinical outcomes were analyzed after 2 years. Results. Significant decrease of VCSS score was observed in both groups (p<0.001). VCSS score was similar in ASVAL and EVLO groups after 2 years (p=0.681). There were no differences in recurrence rate in both groups (p=0.776). ASVAL was followed by significant decrease of GSV diameter (Me=5.7, IQR [5.0; 6.0] vs. Me=5.1, IQR [4.55; 5.70], p=0.008), reflux became mild in 15 (46.9%) patients. Conclusion. ASVAL with preservation of GSV may be preferred in patients with varicose disease class C2—C3 and incompetent GSV with its diameter ≤ 6 mm.
