Non-infected, non-haematic fluid collections after endovenous laser ablation of the saphenous veins: a noteworthy complication.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To describe an uncommon complication after endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of the saphenous veins and its percutaneous management. METHODS:Symptomatic greater saphenous vein reflux was successfully treated by EVLA using standard technique. Local pain, redness and swelling around the prior percutaneous access site were investigated at the clinical and duplex ultrasonographic follow-up visit one week later. RESULTS:Duplex ultrasonography demonstrated a subcutaneous fluid collection with surrounding hyperechogenicity. Needle aspiration of the collection under real-time ultrasound guidance allowed complete evacuation of the clear yellowish fluid. Immediate symptom relief was observed. Direct examination and anaerobic and aerobic culture of the fluid were negative. No further complication was observed during the following 11 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS:Seroma after EVLA is a rare but possible complication, while haematomas and infections seem much scarcer. Diagnosis is easily made by duplex ultrasonography. Treatment by fine needle aspiration can successfully relieve symptoms without delayed recurrence.
