EVA proved to be effective in venous wall destruction even with a very low SLAC and ctSA/VW (0.5% in 3 minutes), in quite large caliber veins. Direct comparisons with foam/liquid sclerotherapy should be done to confirm therapeutic effectiveness of these results, despite EVA has provided a maximized and controlled SA/VW contact time and ratio.
