Background: This study aims to evaluate the curative effect of treatment for saphenous vein incompetence in patients with symptomatic CEAP C0-C1 chronic venous disease (CVD).
Methods: Patients with CEAP C0-C1 limbs who underwent treatment for an incompetent saphenous vein from January 2015 to March 2019 were included in this study. Included patients underwent the following evaluations before treatment and at 6 and 12 months after treatment: duplex ultrasonography (DUS), Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS), and the Aberdeen varicose vein severity score (AVVQ).
Results: A total 48 limbs (37 patients) were included in this study. The mean age was 50 years (range, 21 to 83 years). The preoperative VCSS and AVVQ (VCSS, 1.6±0.9; AVVQ, 13.1±7.7) were significantly improved after treatment [(6-month scores; VCSS, 0.3±0.5; AVVQ, 6.7±6.0; p<0.01) and (12- month scores; VCSS, 0.04±0.2; AVVQ, 6.4±4.2; p<0.01)]. The AVVQ significantly improved, regardless of treatment type (p=0.33 at 6 months and p=0.33 at 12 months).
Conclusion: Quality of life improved after treatment of incompetent saphenous vein in patients with symptomatic CEAP C0-C1 CVD, regardless of treatment type.
