- Abstract
The article presents a study on the safety and efficacy of endovenous laser ablation (EVL) of the saphenous vein. An international registry of EVL operations using 980 nm lasers was established and evaluated. This revealed that there are several complications associated with the procedure, including ecchymosis, paresthesia, superficial phlebitis, skin burns and deep venous thrombophlebitis. However, these complications are infrequent to the point of rare.
