Our early term results of the EVLA procedure were satisfactory, and the results of this study reaffrmed the safety and effectiveness of an EVLA using a 1470 nm wavelength for the treatment of GSV insuffciency. Furthermore patients experienced minimal post procedure discomfort compared to those treated with the current generation of lasers. This may refecte more specifc vein wall injury secondary to the absorption characteristics of the laser energy.
