Description
Kangkang Zhi and co-authors run a multicenter trial comparing glue ablation with radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins in the great saphenous vein. Care for varicose veins has moved from open surgery toward targeted, low-impact procedures, but long-term data on the glue method stay limited. The trial enrolls 177 patients across centers, with 89 assigned to glue and 88 to radio waves. Follow-up visits run from one week to twelve months after treatment.
The main test is whether the glue method closes the vein fully at three months at a rate not worse than the standard method. The team also tracks closure at twelve months, procedure time, pain, bruising, and two symptom scores. The glue group shows no device-related complications. Unlike the radio wave group, it needs no tumescent fluid injections. Early results support glue as a safe rival treatment.
