Sumario:Cyanoacrylate glue closure (CAC) is being increasingly used as a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of symptomatic incompetent saphenous veins. The most common adverse event associated with CAC has been phlebitis, including hypersensitivity phlebitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, and granulomatous phlebitis. This complication can be serious and debilitating. In the present report, we have described a case of symptomatic septicemia after CAC that required surgical excision of the treated saphenous veins.
