Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1 Superiority of the 1470 nm endolaser in the control of the internal saphenous vein reflux and the internal saphenous collusion rate through the evaluation by color venous echo Doppler.;Result Found 1 Similar results were observed between the two methods in the control of internal saphenous vein reflux and in the internal saphenous collusion rate by color venous echocardiography.;Expected outcome 2 Superiority of endolaser 1470 nm in the control of symptoms related to the disease, through the evaluation of CEAP and RVCSC scores.;Result Found 2 Similar results were observed between the two methods in the control of symptoms related to the disease, through the evaluation of the CEAP and RVCSC scores.;Expected outcome 3: Superiority of endolaser 1470 nm in the assessment of postoperative morbidity through visual pain scale, incidence of complications and time of return to work.;Outcome found 3: Similar results were observed between the two methods in the assessment of postoperative morbidity, through visual pain scale, incidence of complications and time of return to work.
