Abstract:
Venous disease of lower extremities is one of the most common chronic diseases. Incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) have great impact on the occurrence, development and recurrence of venous diseases. Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, endovascular thermal ablation and cyanoacrylate adhesive perforator embolization have been gradually applied to treating IPVs, and the curative effects are all good. The advancements of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatment for IPVs were reviewed in this article.
