Abstract: BackgroundIn endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), the great saphenous vein (GSV) is usually ablated from the knee to the groin, with no treatment of the below-knee segment regardless of its reflux status. However, persistent below-knee GSV reflux appears to be responsible for residual varicosities and symptoms of venous disease.ObjectivesTo evaluate clinical and duplex ultrasound (DUS) outcomes of the below-knee segment of the GSV after above-knee EVLA associated with conventional surgical treatment of varicositi… Show more

“…Numerous incidences of BTK GSV reflux after ATK GSV EVLA have been reported. A study by de Arujo et al 10 showed a 70% incidence of BTK reflux one year after ATK GSV ablation. The study was consistent with our second case which presented persistent symptoms and delayed ulcer healing even after the treatment of ATK GSV EVLA.…”
