Abstract Sclerotherapy is an old technique that has been revolutionized by recent technological advances. Foaming detergent sclerosants offered increased potency and could be visualized by means of ultrasonography. Ultrasound guidance allowed better anatomic visualization, greater hemodynamic understanding, more precise foam targeting and delivery, and monitoring for unwanted foam passage into deep veins. With these advances, sclerotherapy has now become a competitive treatment for any type or size of vein. Its advantages include: relatively low price, can be administered in an outpatient setting and an excellent method for treating recurrent varicose veins |
