Abstract
Objective: To evaluate result of radiofrequency abalation for treatment of chronic venous incompetence (CVI) at The Argriculture General Hospital. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive and prospective study. We conduct research in 38 patients (54 limbs) with CEAP 2-5. Ultrasound Doppler confirmed venous valvular incompetence of GSV in all patients followed by treatment with RFA technique. Ultrasound is checked after 3 months to evaluate the results. Result: Good clinical improvement upon CEAP clinical classification with significant C3-C5 decrease. VCSS reduced from 5.0 ± 1.1 to 2.9 ± 0.8 and CIVIQ-20 decreased from 43.9 ± 6.1 to 24.4 ± 4.4 after 3 months follow up. The result was statistically significant (p<0.001). Vein diameter decreased from 7.85 ± 1.8mm to 4.2 ± 0.74mm. Succesful rate of venous complete occlusion was 100%. Complications of the treatment including dermal numbness was 36.84%, paresthesia numbness 9.26%, and muscle tension pain in the venous region of intervention 44.74%. Conclusion: Radiofrequency ablation for saphenous veinous incompetence is a safe technique
