Ischaemia of 6 hours duration [6] will lead to extensive tissue necrosis, there by necessitating early recognition and treatment to promote revascularisation
It seems for that sclerotherapy and Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) will continue to be a mainstay of modern non-surgical varicose vein treatment
Summary
Both sclerotherapy and open surgical treatment have been used for varicose veins for over 100 years [1]. Extensive Tissue Necrosis: A Rare but Catastrophic Complication of Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy has developed from a cosmetic treatment for superficial veins, into a commonly used therapy for saphenous trunks and tributaries [1]. Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) has become an established modality for the treatment of varicose veins, either alone or in combination with other non-surgical treatments.
