Abstract
Abstract: Varicose veins are defined by combination of permanently elongated and dilated vein/s whose path has become tortuous, inducing pathological circulation. After taking approval from local ethical committee and willful inform consent, foam sclerotherapy was offered to 50 patients, with 23 patients showed varicosity of both legs and 27 patients with varicosity of one leg. Our study showed obliteration of diameter of dilated vein achieved in 95.5% of patients, however some of them require additional one or two session of therapy. It is cost effective and with less complication than surgical procedure in the management of varicose veins.
