Abstract
In treating great saphenous insufficiency (GSI), there is common understanding that a higher rate of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occur with greater saphenous vein (GSV) ablations extending within close proximity to the sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ). However, the precise association between this distance and post-ablation complication rate is unknown1. A surrogate for how close the ablation was to the SFJ is the length of residual GSV stump on follow-up imaging. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between post-ablation GSV stump length and complication rate.
