Abstract
ResumoContextoO reconhecimento da termoablação endovenosa como tratamento da insuficiência de veias safenas traz a necessidade de maior conhecimento e compreensão do método. A densidade de energia endovenosa linear (linear endovenous energy density – LEED) é a variável mais aceita para padronização, cada vez mais amplamente divulgada. Não deve ser utilizada apenas para comparação de resultados científicos – deve também ser usada no intraoperatório para a realização do procedimento com segurança.ObjetivosDesenvolver aplicativo para mensuração da LEED e avaliar sua aplicabilidade.MétodosO aplicativo para iOS EVLTraining® foi desenvolvido para equipamentos portáteis com o intuito de padronizar a emissão energética em procedimentos de termoablação endovenosa.ResultadosO aplicativo criado mostrou equivalência com as medidas aplicadas no procedimento cirúrgico.ConclusõesO software EVLTraining® permite o treino prévio de cirurgião e equipe para a velocidade de tração da fibra ótica que será aplicada.
Highlights
Recognition of endovenous thermal ablation as a treatment for saphenous vein insufficiency[1] brings a need for greater knowledge and understanding of the method
Linear endovenous energy density (LEED) is the most accepted variable for standardization and it is covered in a growing number of publications
In order to apply LEED, it is necessary to understand the physics and mathematics used in the formula
Summary
Recognition of endovenous thermal ablation as a treatment for saphenous vein insufficiency[1] brings a need for greater knowledge and understanding of the method. In contrast with radio frequency ablation, in which the equipment has few variables to be configured and the method is more reproduced, endovenous thermal ablation by laser demands knowledge of wavelength, power, energy, irradiance, fluence, time and distance, when choosing equipment and while conducting the procedure safely. Linear endovenous energy density (LEED) is the most accepted variable for standardization and it is covered in a growing number of publications.
