Abstract:Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the saphenous and perforator veins ("closure") is a relatively newer option for treatment of venous insuffi ciency patients. A known complication of the RFA is deep vein thrombosis also known as DVT. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the probability of acute deep venous thrombosis post radio-frequency vein ablation. This research also helped determine medical necessity of a postoperative venous duplex examination within 5 days post-procedure.
