Lower extremity venous insufficiency secondary to saphenous vein insufficiency is a common medical condition that decreases a patient's quality of life. Traditionally treated with high ligation and stripping, minimally invasive procedures using endovenous thermal ablation techniques, such as endovenous laser ablation, have evolved. The use of detailed imaging and advances in the understanding of the anatomy of truncal vein insufficiency are important for performing the endovenous laser ablation procedure successfully. Endovenous laser ablation eliminates reflux with less morbidity, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic results with high patient satisfaction. As such, it has become the preferred treatment method for varicose veins since it was first introduced a decade ago.
下肢静脉功能不全继发于大隐静脉功能不全是一种常见的医学病症，会降低患者的生活质量。传统上采用高位结扎和剥脱术进行治疗，而微创的腔内热消融技术，如腔内激光消融术，已经得到了发展。详细的影像学检查和对主干静脉功能不全解剖结构的深入理解，对于成功实施腔内激光消融术非常重要。腔内激光消融术可消除反流，具有较低的发病率、更快的恢复时间和更好的美容效果，患者满意度高。因此，自十年前首次引入以来，它已成为治疗静脉曲张的首选方法。
