1 Long-term outcomes of endovenous radiofrequency obliteration of saphenous reflux as a treatment for superficial venous insufficiency  Robert F.

2 Fig 1 On the left, a duplex ultrasound image of the area near the saphenofemoral junction 1 week after radiofrequency obliteration of the great saphenous vein (GSV). The image on the right was recorded at the 5-year follow-up. Transverse views of patent tributaries (Trib) are seen. There are no longer any discernible landmarks for the GSV, Epi, Superficial epigastric vein; FE, femoral vein.

3 Fig 2 The the types of anatomical failure are illustrated in the panels (left to right). A, Type I, great saphenous vein (GSV) failure to completely occlude, with or without reflux present. B and C, Type II, partially recanalized GSV. D, Type III, the treated GSV is occluded, but reflux is present involving branches near the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ). CFV, Common femoral vein.

4 Fig 3 As a measure of symptom relief following treatment, presence or absence of limb pain, fatigue or edema was recorded. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Limbs that were asymptomatic at each time point for limb pain, fatigue, or edema were separated into two groups: those for which treatment was categorized as successful and those categorized as anatomical failure.
