Research advancements of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment for incompetent perforator veins / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Venous disease of lower extremities is one of the most common chronic diseases. Incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) have great impact on the occurrence, development and recurrence of venous diseases. Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, endovascular thermal ablation and cyanoacrylate adhesive perforator embolization have been gradually applied to treating IPVs, and the curative effects are all good. The advancements of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment for IPVs were reviewed in this article.
