Abstract:
In China,radiofrequency ablation(RFA)has become one of the main surgical approaches for the treatment of lower extremity varicose veins.However,differences exist in patient outcomes and adherence to treatment protocols among medical centers at different levels.To address this issue,the Expert Working Group on Venous Disease of the Expert Committee of the National Quality Control Center for Peripheral Vascular Interventional Technology developed the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Development of the Quality Evaluation Index System for Radiofrequency Ablation in Lower Extremity Varicose Veins,based on authoritative domestic and international guidelines,clinical studies,and the experience of international index systems.This consensus defines the quality evaluation index system for RFA in lower extremity varicose veins,including process indicators and outcome indicators.The establishment of this index system will help surgeons identify key steps in the treatment process,optimize full-process patient management,and reduce the incidence of complications,thereby promoting the standardization,normalization,and homogenization of RFA for lower extremity varicose veins across hospitals nationwide.
