Ablation of the great saphenous vein with nontumescent n-butyl cyanoacrylate versus endovenous laser therapy

Abstract

Objective: The endovenous application of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) is a new nontumescent ablation technique for the treatment of venous insufficiency. The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare an NBCA-based ablation method with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for the management of incompetent great saphenous veins.
