Authors' objectives:
Endoluminal radiofrequency ablation, also known as endovascular occlusion, is a treatment for symptomatic varicose veins that involves delivery of controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy through a catheter inserted into the affected vein. The heat generated by the RF energy causes the vein to contract and become occluded. The treatment is intended as a minimally invasive alternative to standard surgery for symptomatic varicosities of the greater saphenous vein (GSV) due to venous reflux.
