| Abstract | ||
| 1- Introduction: Varicose veins (VV) are dilated, elongated, and tortuous veins that permit the reverse flow of blood. It is one of the most common medical conditions that affects adults and older people. Primary VV is due to pathology in the superficial veins, such as valvular dysfunction or vein wall dilatation. The presentation of primary VV can range from those that are noticed incidentally to those causing significant symptoms such as pain, disfigurement, edema, and hyperpigmentation. Duplex ultrasound is used for the diagnosis and management of VV. The complications of primary VV are less common than those of secondary VV, like bleeding, superficial thrombophlebitis, and ulcerations. Treatment of VV has had the great attention of many physicians throughout history, since the prevalence of the disease is very high. This encourages physicians to find better and more convenient treatments. Conservative, surgical, or recently less invasive endovenous techniques are the lines of management. 2-Aim of work: To study the evaluation of endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treatment of primary varicose veins in the lower limbs. | ||
