Synergizing Antegrade Endoscopic with Bridging Vein Harvesting for Improvement of Great Saphenous Vein Graft Quality from the Lower Leg
Published on: November 19, 2019
Abstract:
Being disappointed in the failures of sclerotherapy in varicose veins, the author resorted to ambulatory phlebectomy. Through very tiny incisions (0.5 to 1 mm) the varicose veins are prepared and completely removed. The arch and the proximal part of the internal saphenous vein are left to the surgeon. This technique described 2,000 years ago by Celsus is easy, effective and innocuous, leaves no marks (no stiches or ligatures) and is also inexpensive because of asepsis, antisepsis and anesthesia. A critical review of 1000 of our cases discloses 70 per cent excellent results. The 30 per cent of accidents were benign and transitory. This technique is almost ideal : A harmless cure that improves the appearance of all type of patients with varicose vein.
