Background Many surgical approaches are available to treat varicose veins secondary to
chronic venous insufficiency. One of the least invasive techniques is the ambulatory …

Objectives: to compare minimally invasive surgical haemodynamic correction of reflux
(CHIVA) with compression in the treatment of venous ulceration. Design: prospective …

OBJECTIVES: To compare the long-term results of stripping vs. haemodynamic correction
(Ambulatory Conservative Haemodynamic Management of Varicose Veins, CHIVA) in the …

The study compared, by a prospective, randomized method, 6 treatment options: A: Sclero
therapy; B: High-dose sclerotherapy; C: Multiple ligations; D: Stab avulsion; E: Foam-sclero …

Objective: The objective of this randomized study was to compare the efficacy of the CHIVA
method for the treatment of varicose veins with respect to the standard treatment of stripping …

BACKGROUND: Great saphenous vein (GSV) incompetence is involved in the majority of
cases of varicose disease. Standardised pre-interventional assessment is required to …

Objectives to investigate the possibility of the haemodynamic suppression of reflux in the
greater saphenous vein (GSV) without any high ligation and/or stripping procedure. Design …

Objectives: to assess the outcome of a conservative and haemodynamic method for
insufficient veins on an ambulatory basis (French acronym,“CHIVA”) with preservation of the …

Objective Phlebectomy of varicose tributaries is usually considered an additional treatment
after or during saphenous ablation. As phlebectomies alone affect the hemodynamics of the …

OBJECTIVES: This prospective duplex study was conducted to study the effect of current
surgical treatment for primary varicose veins on the development of venous insufficiency≤ 2 …
