Endovenous Laser Ablation for Treatment of a Partially Thrombosed Proximal Great Saphenous Vein

INTRODUCTION: Superficial vein thrombosis of the great saphenous vein near to the saphenofemoral junction is generally treated with anticoagulation or surgically. REPORT: We present the case of a 70-year-old man with varicosities and a partially thrombosed great saphenous vein near to the saphenofem...

description INTRODUCTION: Superficial vein thrombosis of the great saphenous vein near to the saphenofemoral junction is generally treated with anticoagulation or surgically. REPORT: We present the case of a 70-year-old man with varicosities and a partially thrombosed great saphenous vein near to the saphenofemoral junction, treated with endovenous laser ablation of the great saphenous vein. DISCUSSION: The case illustrates an alternative treatment option for superficial vein thrombosis of the great saphenous vein, which permits avoiding a prolonged anticoagulation or surgical procedure.
