Abstract

Despite a rapid spread of the technique, very little is known about the laser-tissue interaction in endovenous laser treatment (EVLT). We evaluated EVLT of the incompetent greater saphenous vein (GSV) for efficacy, treatment-related adverse effects, and putative mechanisms of action. Twenty-six patients with 31 limbs of clinical stages C(2-6), E(P), A(S,P), P(R) with incompetent GSV proven by means of duplex scanning were selected for EVLT in an outpatient setting. A 600-microm fiber was entered into the GSV via an 18-gauge needle below the knee and proceeded to the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ). After infiltration of tumescent local anesthesia, multiple laser pulses of 15 J energy and a wavelength of 940 nm were administered along the vein in a standardized fashion. D-dimers were determined in peripheral blood samples 30 minutes after completion of EVLT in 16 patients and on postoperative day 1 in 20 patients. One GSV that was surgically removed after EVLT was examined by means of histopathology. Additionally, an experimental in vitro set-up was constructed as a means of investigating the mechanism of laser action within a blood-filled tube. A median of 80 laser pulses (range, 22-116 laser pulses) were applied along the treate...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
