Effect of concomitant deep venous reflux on truncal endovenous ablation outcomes in the Vascular Quality Initiative.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Few studies have investigated outcomes after truncal endovenous ablation in patients with combined deep and superficial reflux and no studies have evaluated patient-reported outcomes.

Methods

We investigated the short- and long-term clinical and patient-reported outcomes among patients with and without deep venous reflux undergoing truncal endovenous ablation from 2015 to 2019 in the Vascular Quality Initiative. Preprocedural and postprocedural comparisons were performed using the t-test, χ², or their nonparametric counterpart when appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess for confounding.

Results

A total of 4881 patients were included, of which 2254 (46.2%) had combined deep and superficial reflux. The median follo
