[Echography and sclerotherapy--ambulatory phlebectomy, 2 complementary techniques]
Abstract:
Echo-sclerosis and phlebectomy are complementary. Thanks to them, it is possible to treat a post-surgical saphenous branch in a single session. Echo-sclerosis deals with the origin of the varicose vein, which is often deep in the panniculus adiposus, predilection area of this technique. Phlebectomy concerns the visible varicose segment. Complete erradication is achieved. Thanks to this complementary technique it is possible to gain a long-lasting result. Echo-sclerosis has treated the varicose vein upstream and phlebectomy downstream.
