The efficacy of endovenously cyanoacrylate adhesive for the treatment of great saphenous vein insufficiency and mid-term follow-up results

Results: Immediately after the procedure and at 48 h of follow-up, the GSV occlusion rate was 100%. The total occlusion rate was 97.4% at 12 months of follow-up. The mean VCSS improved from 5.9±1.5 at baseline to 0.8±0.6 at 12 months (p<001). The mean AVVQ scores improved from 15.4±3.6 at baseline to 3.8±0.7 at 12 months of follow-up (p<001).

Conclusion: Endovenous treatment of GSV insufficiency with cyanoacrylate adhesive is a rapid and effective method and significantly improves the quality of life of patients. In addition, this procedure does not require the use of tumescent anesthesia and compression stockings.
