A systematic review of routine post operative screening duplex ultrasound after thermal and non-thermal endovenous ablation

The Society of Vascular Surgery and the American Venous Forum recommend duplex ultrasound (DUS) following endovenous ablation. However, this screening may not be cost-effective or clinically indicated. The most common abnormal finding, endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT level 1-2), represents...

Summary:The Society of Vascular Surgery and the American Venous Forum recommend duplex ultrasound (DUS) following endovenous ablation. However, this screening may not be cost-effective or clinically indicated. The most common abnormal finding, endovenous heat-induced thrombosis (EHIT level 1-2), represents extension of thrombus from the saphenous
