1 A randomized, controlled trial of endovenous thermal ablation using the 810-nm wavelength laser and the ClosurePLUS radiofrequency ablation methods for superficial venous insufficiency of the great saphenous vein  Steven S. Gale, MD, Jennifer N. Lee, RN, M. Eileen Walsh, PhD, Dennis L. Wojnarowski, BA, Anthony J.
