Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (Venefit Procedure, also known as VNUS Closure) is an alternative to vein stripping and has been shown to :
- achieve ulcer healing rates 84% at 6 months follow up
- lower venous stasis ulcer recurrence rates
Endovenous laser ablation has been shown to increase ulcer healing rates to 81.5% at 12 months - versus baseline healing rates of venous stasis ulcers are 24% with compression treatment alone.
