Recanalization After Endovenous Thermal Ablation

These data do suggest low overall rates of recanalization after thermal ablation of the GSV and SSV. However, at 1-year follow-up, accessory veins had almost twice the recurrence rate as compared with GSV and SSV, and PV had almost 5 times the recurrence rate. There was no significant difference between RFA and EVLA in recanalization rates. Redo procedures in recanalized veins after venous ablation are effective with a success rate at 76.5%.
