Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) for incom-petent great saphenous vein (GSV) below knee.
Method: This study is a retrospective study. From February 2013 to February 2017, 25 limbs of 23 patients UGFS for GSV below knee. Before UGFS, the mean diameter of GSV below knee was 3.4 mm ranging from 2.4 mm to 5.0 mm. The mean reflux time of GSV below knee was 2.3 sec ranging from 0.6 sec to 5.37 sec. The uncomfortable symptom of the limb with incompetent GSV below knee was present in 72% of limbs (18/25).
Result: The pretreatment symptoms were resolved in all patients. Complete occlusion of the treated GSV below knee were confirmed in 84% of limbs (21/25).
Conclusion: After UGFS, the pretreatment symptoms of the limbs were resolved in all patients and the treated GSV below knee were completely closed in 84% of limbs.
