Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Die endovenösen Therapieoptionen der Stammvaricosis haben die chirurgische Therapie partiell abgelöst. Neben den thermischen, Laser und Hochfrequenz gestützten Verfahren stehen weitere Katheter gestützte, nicht thermische Verfahren zur Verfügung. Seit ihrer CE-Zulassung 2011 hat sich mechanisch-chemische Ablation (MOCA) als kostengünstige, sichere und effektive Alternative erwiesen, die in Lokalanästhesie durchgeführt werden kann. Die Kombination mit einer chirurgischen Behandlung von Seitenastvarizen oder deren Schaumsklerosierung ist dabei im gleichen Eingriff oder sequenziell möglich.

Schlüsselwörter
