Endovenous thermal ablation for chronic venous disease treatment is recommended over traditional surgery. The present investigation compares endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) with radiofrequency (RF) for segmental endovenous sapheno-femoral junction ablation. ⋯ Saphenous sparing is feasible and effective by means of both EVLA and RF, representing a possible alternative to surgery.
