A Randomized Controlled Trial of Endovenous Laser Ablation Versus Mechanochemical Ablation With ClariVein in the Management of Superficial Venous Incompetence (LAMA Trial)

Abduraheem Hussein Mohamed et al.

Summary: Both EVLA and MOCA were highly effective in treating superficial venous insufficiency, leading to significant improvements in disease severity, symptoms, and quality of life for patients. Both procedures resulted in low procedural pain and fast recovery time, with higher axial occlusion rates observed after EVLA. Long term follow-up is needed to determine the impact of recanalization on clinical recurrence rates.
