VariClose(R) vein sealing system is inferior to endovenous laser ablation for the treatment of varicose veins

Original language description

BACKGROUND: One of the three commercially available cyanoacrylate venous glues used for the treatment of saphenous vein insufficiency is the VariClose(R) vein sealing system. Previous studies have documented a high rate of occlusion and minimal postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to compare occlusion rates and clinical outcomes of endovenous laser treatment with the VariClose(R) vein sealing system in the treatment of truncal vein insufficiency. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective non-randomized single center study with prospectively collected data comparing endovenous laser treatment and VariClose(R) procedures between April 2018 and November 2019. RESULTS: VariClose(R) was used in 27 patients (30 veins) and endovenous laser treatment in 42 patients (51 veins). The occlusion rate at one, three, and six months were 96%, 85%, and 65% for VariClose(R) procedures and 100%, 100%, and 97% for endovenous laser treatment procedures (p = 0.01), respectively. Reduction of VCSS scores before treatment and at the last postoperative follow-up visit in the VariClose(R) group dropped by an average of 1.8 +- 1.6 and in the endovenous laser treatment by an average of 3.3 +- 2.9 (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: VariClose(R) vein sealing system is inferior to endovenous laser treatment as a treatment option for varicose veins as it has a higher recanalization rate.
