Background: Varicose veins are a frequent vascular issue. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Endo-venous laser (EVLA) endo-venous treatments for varicose veins. therapy demonstrated superior outcomes than standard high ligation stripping in terms of pain, quality life, healing, recurrence. The RFA ELA surpass vein morbidity, outcome, neovascularization (recurrence), which is attributed greater r...

BACKGROUND Endo-venous laser or microwave ablation is a minimally invasive surgery for treating varicose veins of lower limbs. AIM The aim of our study was to determine whether endovenous microwave ablation of the greater saphenous vein was associated with better effectiveness and less complications than the endovenous laser ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2008 to June 2011, 259 c...

Perioperative anaphylaxis is characterized by severe respiratory and cardiovascular manifestations.
