Outcomes of Nonthermal and Nontumescent Endovenous Glue Ablation for Treatment of Incompetent Truncal Veins in Symptomatic Varicose Vein Disease in Indian Population

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovenous glue ablation for treating incompetent truncal veins in patients with varicose vein disease.
• Evaluated outcomes of endovenous glue ablation in patients with symptomatic chronic venous insufficiency.
• Compared technical and clinical success rates of glue vs thermal ablation methods.
• Recorded complications associated with cyanoacrylate glue ablation.
• Endovenous glue ablation showed high rates of truncal closure and clinical success.
• Reported complications included thrombophlebitis and hypersensitivity reactions, but were fewer than thermal ablation.
• Glue-based ablation was found to be practically painless and had better overall efficacy.
