Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To assess anatomical success rate in terms of target vein occlusion by duplex ultrasound.Timepoint: Day 7 and at 3 months	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To assess efficacy of compression in terms of venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and chronic venous insufficiency quality of life questionnaire (CIVIQ 20) score. To estimate magnitude of postoperative pain using visual analogue score (VAS) and need for postoperative analgesia. To determine safety in terms of postoperative complications e.g. bruising and blisters, deep vein thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis of other tributaries and recurrence. Timepoint: day 3-7, 7 and 3 months	—
