Abstract

Abstract:

In the early 1960’s, sclerotherapy began to be applied in treatment of lower extremity varicose vein. With its development for the past over 50 years, sclerotherapy has become a mature technique in treating various types and phases of lower extremity varicose vein, with its efficacy and security being widely recognized in medical field. In many countries around the world, they put forward the guidelines of sclerotherapy, which point out that sclerotherapy is one of the standard strategies in treating lower extremity varicose vein. However, sclerotherapy is still in dispute in the field due to the limitation of the application range and possible recurrence. There are existing lots of differences on statistical data among different institutions on account of technological disparity, and less evidence in multi-center sizable study in China.

Key words: Foam sclerotherapy, Varicose veins of the lower extremities
