Traditional surgical ligation and stripping for the treatment of saphenous vein incompetence has been replaced by minimally invasive alternative treatments during the last five years. Endovenous ablation with radiofrequency (RP) and laser (EVL) have proven to be safe, durable, and widely accepted by patients. Catheter-delivered sclerotherapy (CDS) with foam and liquid for ablation of the great saphenous vein is also under investigation. In this technique, vein volume must be measured accurately by ultrasound just prior to the procedure and can require up to 11 diameter measurements. The purpose of this study was to identify an abbreviated method of determining vein volume to expedite associated endovenous procedures. Seventy-five veins were treated in 55 subjects with catheter-directed sclerotherapy in a three-center clinical study using a standardized protocol. Vein volume was carefully calculated by determining vein diameter over the Treatment Length in 4 cm intervals. These measurements were compared to vein volume calculations where only three measurements were taken. Our results suggest that the abbreviated method is capable of significantly reducing the number of diameter measurements without sacrificing accuracy. We found the method produced a vein volume that fell within 1 mL or 15% of the actual vein volume in 80% of cases. The abbreviated method cannot be used with accuracy in veins that are Erratic.
