Varicose Vein Therapy: Endovenous Laser Ablation

Maged Naser, Mohamed M. Nasr, Lamia H. Shehata

Abstract


Endovenous laser ablation (EVA) is utilized in the therapy and the management of varicose veins from chronic venous disease. The fundamental sign for this treatment is disease that is refractory to conservative treatment with compression stockings. This activity audits the treatment of varicose veins with endovenous laser treatment and features the role of the interprofessional group being taken care of by patients that go through this method.


Keywords


Varicose veins, Endovenous Laser Ablation.
