Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has shown faster recovery and lower pain scores compared to Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for treatment of varicose veins. However, a comparison of 1,940-nm EVLA and RFA has not been reported. This study compared short-term outcomes using 1,940-nm EVLA and RFA for varicose veins. Between April 2018 and June 2018, 43 patients (83 incompetent saphenous veins) were treated with 1,940-nm EVLA and 37 patients (64 incompetent saphenous veins) with RFA. Follow-up duplex was checked at 1 month and 3 months. Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between both groups except for age. Pain scores at 6 h, and at 1, 10, and 30 days after treatment showed no differences. Complications and time to return to normal activity showed no differences. The 100% closure rate was checked in both groups at 1 month and 3 months follow-up. Short-term outcomes showed no significant differences between 1,940-nm EVLA and RFA treatment.
与静脉腔内激光消融术（EVLA）相比，射频消融术（RFA）在治疗静脉曲张方面显示出更快的恢复速度和更低的疼痛评分。然而，尚未有关于1940纳米EVLA与RFA对比的报道。本研究比较了使用1940纳米EVLA和RFA治疗静脉曲张的短期疗效。在2018年4月至2018年6月期间，43例患者（83条隐静脉功能不全）接受了1940纳米EVLA治疗，37例患者（64条隐静脉功能不全）接受了RFA治疗。在1个月和3个月时进行随访双功超声检查。除年龄外，两组的基线特征无显著差异。治疗后6小时、1天、10天和30天的疼痛评分无差异。并发症和恢复正常活动的时间无差异。在1个月和3个月随访时检查两组的100%闭合率。短期疗效显示，1940纳米EVLA和RFA治疗之间无显著差异。
