Endovenous heat-induced thrombosis after ablation with 1470 nm laser: Incidence, progression, and risk factors

Abstract

Risk factors associated with endovenous heat-induced thrombosis formation after endovenous laser ablation include: vein size, age, and multiple phlebectomies. Endovenous heat-induced thrombosis resolves in 2-4 weeks in most patients but it may worsen in few.
