Authors' objectives:
The objectives of sclerotherapy for symptomatic varicose veins are: (1) to prevent complications related to the varicose disease; (2) to relieve symptoms; and (3) to improve the appearance of the leg. During sclerotherapy, a sclerosant is injected into the targeted varicose vein. The resulting inflammatory response obliterates the vessel lumen and leads to fibrosis and sclerosis of the vein; the body then absorbs the sclerotic tissue.
