RCT Comparing EVLA Versus Polidocanol Foam in the Treatment of SSV Insufficiency — FOVELASS  

Varicose Veins of Lower Limb Clinical Trial

Official title:
Three-year Outcomes of a RCT Comparing EVLA Versus Polidocanol Foam in the Treatment of SSV Insufficiency (FOVELASS Study, by the French Society of Phlebology)

Clinical Trial Summary

FOVELASS is a multicentre-RCT (11 centres) comparing ultrasound-guided-foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) and Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) for treating SSV insufficiency, conducted by the French Society of Phlebology.

Clinical Trial Description

Saphenous vein insufficiency is a common finding in varicose veins cases. International guidelines currently recommend endovenous thermal ablation using laser (EVLA) or radiofrequency as first line treatment for truncal Great Saphenous Vein (GSV) incompetence in preference to Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS) (1,2). This GSV-based recommendation has tended to be used for treating Small Saphenous Vein (SSV) incompetence. To date, no RCTs have directly compared UGFS and EVLA for SSV treatment. The French Society of Phlebology (SFP) decided to compare these two most utilised endovenous treatments in France in a controlled study called the FOam VErsus LAser in the SSv (FOVELASS) study, involving 13 investigators in 11 vascular medical centres. ;
