Endovenous ablation is the preferred treatment for symptomatic varicose veins with axial reflux, offering less postprocedure pain, reduced morbidity, and earlier return to activity
Endovenous thermal ablation (radiofrequency ablation [RFA] and endovenous laser ablation [EVLA]) has largely replaced surgery as the standard of care
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) represents a less invasive option but has higher recurrence rates
