Abstract
Purposes: Find out advantages & Efficacy of EMA Versus RFA in treatment Of primary varicose veins.
Background: Varicose veins treatment places a considerable annoying problem on the medical system, with long waiting time for operation in the public hospital system. Both EMA and RFA allow efficient treatment of many patients on out-patient basis.
Patients and methods: This prospective randomized interventional study included 40 patients diagnosed with GSV reflux and patients were randomly allocated by using a computer generated random number table (Central Randomization System) into one of the two parallel treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio according to the intervention performed; Group I: Endovenous Microwave Ablation (EMA); (N=20 (50%)), Group II: radio frequency ablation (RFA): (N=20 (50%)).All patients underwent clinical evaluation, routine hematological tests, Venous duplex of both lower limbs. Follow-up period was for 12-months
