Evaluating QoL and Postoperative Complications Using TEThA Technique in the Treatment of Tributary Veins

Endovenous laser thermoablation is a well-established alternative for the treatment of tributary veins. We believe that it is possible to improve the techniques described in the literature, aiming not only to allocate the laser fiber within the venous lumen, but mainly to transfix the vessel walls - a technique called TEThA (Transfixing Endovenous Thermal Ablation).
