Radiofrequency-induced thermal therapy: results of a European multicentre study of resistive ablation of incompetent truncal varicose veins.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:arterial involvement may coexist in about 15-30 of venous ulcers. In this case compression therapy maybe applied, only by expert caregivers, with a reduced pressure which must not overcome the arterial pressure at ankle and foot level. It remains to assess if such a reduced pressure may be effective also o...
