Compare clinical outcome between surgical stripping versus endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) 1470nm without tumescence of the incompetent great saphenous vein (GSV). Method:

Prospective non-randomized study conducted at Clinica do Esporte Hospital in Goiania, Brazil. The study was approved by the ethics committee and all patients signed informed consent before enrollment. A total of 23 patients (31 limbs) with symptomatic GSV incompetence underwent stripping (12 limbs) or EVLT with 1470nm (19 limbs) from January 2012 to May 2013. The patients selected the final procedure of choice after thorough discussions with the treating physician. Patients returned at 7, 15, 30 days and one year post procedure and a venous ultrasound evaluation was performed at the 30 day and one year follow-up. The limbs were classified according to Clinical, Etiology, Anatomy and Pathology (CEAP) classification and Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) before procedure, and VCSS was used for treatment follow-up. The nonparametric comparison test (Kruskal Wallis ) was used for VCSS analysis. Adverse events were analyzed using Chi-square. A p value
