Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyRandomised clinical trial comparing endovenous laser ablation with stripping of the great saphenous vein: clinical outcome and recurrence after 2 years.
This study aims to compare the outcome 2years after treatment of varicose veins by endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) or surgery by assessing recurrence, venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and quality of life. ⋯ No significant differences in clinical or ultrasound recurrences were found between EVLA and surgery groups. Our study also shows that similar improvements in clinical severity scores and quality of life were gained in both treatments.

Fenestrated stent grafting for short-necked and juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm: an 8-year single-centre experience.
To present an 8-year clinical experience in the endovascular treatment of short-necked and juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with fenestrated stent grafts. ⋯ Fenestrated stent grafting for short-necked and juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm appears safe and effective on the longer term. Renal function deterioration, however, is a major concern.
