In recent years modifications and refinements in treating varicose veins by injecting a sclerosant have given this method an important place in the practitioner's armamentarium. Specific indications and precise technique are essential. Compression-sclerotherapy has been used since 1975 in the vein clinic of Belleville General Hospital, Belleville, Ont. Some patients have also required limited ligation of veins that were deeper or more proximal, or both. A follow-up study of patients 2 or more years after treatment revealed no major complications and a high rate of patient acceptance and satisfaction. The costs of treatment were about one tenth those of conventional inpatient surgery.
近年来，通过注射硬化剂治疗静脉曲张的方法不断改进和完善，使其在医生的治疗手段中占据了重要地位。明确的适应症和精确的技术至关重要。自1975年以来，安大略省贝尔维尔市贝尔维尔综合医院的静脉诊所一直采用压迫硬化疗法。一些患者还需要对更深层或更靠近心脏一端的静脉进行有限结扎，或两者皆需。对治疗后两年或更长时间的患者进行的随访研究显示，没有出现重大并发症，患者接受率和满意度很高。治疗费用约为传统住院手术的十分之一。
