Abstract
Based on our protocol, patients with severe CVI who were receiving long-term warfarin therapy can be treated safely and effectively with endovenous radiofrequency ablation for incompetent GSVs, SSVs, and perforator veins. Long-term warfarin therapy did not have a significant effect on perforator closure rates compared with no anticoagulation.
