Abstract: (117 Views) |
| One of the most common venous diseases is a varicose vein which leads to several complications. The present study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and factors which effect on it after radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy. The patients were evaluated by clinical examination and using the questionnaire based on Venous Clinical Severity Score(VCSS) at least one year after the procedure. The study population included 429 patients (181 females and 248 male), who were evaluated in terms of the effective and ineffective factors on patient satisfaction after radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy. According to the maximum score of VCSS (30 points), the overall satisfaction level of patients was 25.6 ± 1.4. Factors such as severity of varicose veins, overweight (high BMI), older age, chronic disease, and male gender decreased the level of patient satisfaction. Factors such as the affected side and varicose location (great or lesser saphenous vein) did not affect the level of patient satisfaction. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that performing radiofrequency ablation and concomitant foam sclerotherapy has acceptable results in term of patient satisfaction |
