Randomized Controlled TrialDurability of treatment effect with polidocanol endovenous microfoam on varicose vein symptoms and appearance (VANISH-2).
The objectives of this study were to assess the durability of response to treatment with polidocanol endovenous microfoam (Varithena; Provensis Ltd, a BTG International group company) and to assess the long-term safety of the study patients. ⋯ Treatment with polidocanol endovenous microfoam 1% led to durable, clinically meaningful, and ongoing improvements at 1 year in varicose vein symptoms and appearance. Serious adverse events were those expected during long-term follow-up of the population of patients studied and were unrelated to treatment.

A RIETE registry analysis of recurrent thromboembolism and hemorrhage in patients with catheter-related thrombosis.
Few studies have investigated the treatment and the outcomes of patients with catheter-related thrombosis (CRT). ⋯ Concomitant PE occurs less frequently in CRT than lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, but it is associated with a worse outcome. CRT occurs in high-risk patients, and duration of anticoagulation must be predicated on balancing these risks.
