01/01/2020 - "Assuming typical values for the rate of injection of a foam, we predict that for a vein of diameter 5 mm, the most effective foams have low liquid fraction, a narrow size distribution, and a Bingham number B ≈ 4.5. The Sauter mean radius provides the most appropriate measure of the bubble size for sclerotherapy and the Bingham number then provides a simple measure of the efficacy of foam sclerotherapy in a vein of a given size, and explains the ability of different foams to remove varicose veins. "
04/01/2010 - "Dermatologists have played an important role in the development of minimal invasive therapies Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy and radiofrequency ablation are the most commonly used therapies, and challenge surgery as the gold standard of care in patients with varicose veins. "
01/01/2009 - "Of the new therapies, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy, and radiofrequency ablation are the most common and challenge surgery as the "gold standard" of care for patients with varicose veins. "
06/01/2006 - "In most patients, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is a safe treatment for recurrent varicose veins, with an excellent immediate result. "
07/01/2005 - "On the other hand, sclerotherapy is not indicated for patients with large varices, while ligature competes with pharmacologic treatment, some people suggesting the superiority of ligature because of better patient compliance, although probably the best option would be a combination of both.
