ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the utility of Ultrasound to select patients with lower extremity venous insufficiencyand its role in guidance of the trans-operatory procedure of laser obliteration and for post-surgery follow-up.

Material and methods: We selected 37 patients in whom we demonstraed rodigrade III reflux and in whom 39 laser obliteration procedures were performed.

Results: Ultrasound guidance in the operating room allowed the obliteration of the greater saphenous vein with a success rate in 39/39 (100%) of the patients. Follow-up has been carried out between one week and 14 months after the procedure showing obliteration in 38/39 (97.4 %).

Conclusions: Ultrasound plays a preponderant role in the diagnosis, trans-operatory guidance and follow-up of patients with venous insufficiency of the lower extremities.
