摘要:
Objective: Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy has become an accepted technique in the treatment of varicose veins. Compared with liquid sclerotherapy, foam is a much more powerful tool in the hands of an experienced practitioner. The introduction of consensus statements on foam sclerotherapy enhances its efficacy. This report will provide clinical tips and tricks during ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy. Methods: In general, consensus statements do not include practical tips and tricks to facilitate ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy itself. Experiences acquired during ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy sessions in our clinical practice can enhance the power of this treatment, which may be useful for colleagues in their everyday clinical practice. Conclusion: This report presents useful tips and tricks, which may contribute to effective ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy.
