Comparative study of conventional stripping versus invagination stripping in varicose vein surgery

Varicose vein surgery: stripping versus the CHIVA method: a randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this randomized study was to compare the efficacy of the CHIVA method for the treatment of varicose veins with respect to the standard treatment of stripping. CONTEXT Varicose veins are a sign of chronic venous disorder. For over a century, varicose veins have been treated with surgical ablative techniques, with stripping being the standard treatment. Currently, pos...

Comparative outcomes of radiofrequency endoluminal ablation, invagination stripping, and cryostripping in the treatment of great saphenous vein insufficiency

Objective: Prospective, randomized comparison of short-term and one-year postoperative outcomes after radiofrequency endoluminal ablation (REA) of the great saphenous vein (GSV), saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) ligation with extended tributary ligation and invagination GSV stripping, and SFJ ligation with extended tributary ligation and GSV cryostripping. Methods: In all, 60 consenting patients w...

Varicose vein stripping vs haemodynamic correction (CHIVA): a long term randomised trial.

OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term results of stripping vs. haemodynamic correction (Ambulatory Conservative Haemodynamic Management of Varicose Veins, CHIVA) in the treatment of superficial venous incompetence resulting in chronic venous disease (CVD). DESIGN Randomised comparative trial. PATIENTS 150 patients affected by CVD, CEAP clinical class 2-6, were randomised to saphenous strippin...

Treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremity by stripping.

A prospective study of venous hemodynamics and quality of live at least five years after varicose vein stripping.

PURPOSE To assess venous hemodynamics and quality of life at lest five years after varicose vein stripping. METHODS We conducted a prospective study with 39 patients (63 limbs) with primary lower limbs varicose veins. Preoperatively, all patients were subjected to clinical evaluation, duplex ultrassound, air plethysmography (APG), and CIVIQ questionnaire of quality of life. By APG, venous fil...
