What is the optimal treatment technique for great saphenous vein diameter of ≥10 mm? Comparison of five different approaches.

In conclusion, our study results show that although HLS seems to be an effective method for the treatment of a GSV diameter of ≥10 mm with a low recurrence rate, it does not statistically significantly differ from EVLA at 1,470 nm wavelength and RFA. Therefore, we believe that EVLA at 1,470 nm wavelength and RFA can be preferred over HLS with low pain scores in this patient population.
