Long-term outcomes of mechanochemical ablation using the Clarivein device for the treatment of great saphenous vein incompetence.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The short-term anatomical success rates of mechanochemical ablation using the Clarivein device (Merit Medical) in the treatment of great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence are high. However, the anatomical success rates seem to drop over time. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes of GSV treatment using the Clarivein and to assess whether specific anatomical features better correlate with clinical or quality of life (QoL)-related outcomes.

Methods

This is a single-center, prospective cohort study in follow-up of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial using Clarivein with liquid polidocanol for the treatment of GSV incompetence. The primary outcome was anatomical success (AS), defined as complete occlusion or a recanalized segment, irrespe
